Adjust and clarify handling of primop effects

Fixes #17900; fixes #20195.

The existing "can_fail" and "has_side_effects" primop attributes
that previously governed this were used in inconsistent and
confusingly-documented ways, especially with regard to raising
exceptions.  This patch replaces them with a single "effect"
attribute, which has four possible values: NoEffect, CanFail,
ThrowsException, and ReadWriteEffect.  These are described in
Note [Classifying primop effects].

A substantial amount of related documentation has been re-drafted
for clarity and accuracy.

In the process of making this attribute format change for literally
every primop, several existing mis-classifications were detected and
corrected.  One of these mis-classifications was tagToEnum#, which
is now considered CanFail; this particular fix is known to cause a
regression in performance for derived Enum instances.  (See #23782.)
Fixing this is left as future work.

New primop attributes "cheap" and "work_free" were also added,
and used in the corresponding parts of GHC.Core.Utils.

In view of their actual meaning and uses, `primOpOkForSideEffects`
and `exprOkForSideEffects` have been renamed to `primOpOkToDiscard`
and `exprOkToDiscard`, respectively.

Update inert_solved_dicts for ImplicitParams

When adding an implicit parameter dictionary to the inert set, we must
make sure that it replaces any previous implicit parameter dictionaries
that overlap, in order to get the appropriate shadowing behaviour, as in

  let ?x = 1 in let ?x = 2 in ?x

We were already doing this for inert_cans, but we weren't doing the same
thing for inert_solved_dicts, which lead to the bug reported in #23761.

The fix is thus to make sure that, when handling an implicit parameter
dictionary in updInertDicts, we update **both** inert_cans and
inert_solved_dicts to ensure a new implicit parameter dictionary
correctly shadows old ones.

Fixes #23761

Initial commit of Note [Thunks, blackholes, and indirections]

This Note attempts to summarize the treatment of thunks, thunk update,
and indirections.

This fell out of work on #23185.

Remove zonk in tcVTA

This removes the zonk in GHC.Tc.Gen.App.tc_inst_forall_arg and its
accompanying Note [Visible type application zonk]. Indeed, this zonk
is no longer necessary, as we no longer maintain the invariant that
types are well-kinded without zonking; only that typeKind does not
crash; see Note [The Purely Kinded Type Invariant (PKTI)].

This commit removes this zonking step (as well as a secondary zonk),
and replaces the aforementioned Note with the explanatory
Note [Type application substitution], which justifies why the
substitution performed in tc_inst_forall_arg remains valid without
this zonking step.

Fixes #23661

JS: Improve compatibility with recent emsdk

The JavaScript code in libraries/base/jsbits/base.js had some
hardcoded offsets for fields in structs, because we expected
the layout of the data structures to remain unchanged. Emsdk
3.1.42 changed the layout of the stat struct, breaking this
assumption, and causing code in .hsc files accessing the
stat struct to fail.

This patch improves compatibility with recent emsdk by
removing the assumption that data layouts stay unchanged:

    1. offsets of fields in structs used by JavaScript code are
       now computed by the configure script, so both the .js and
       .hsc files will automatically use the new layout if anything
       changes.
    2. the distrib/configure script checks that the emsdk version
       on a user's system is the same version that a bindist was
       booted with, to avoid data layout inconsistencies

See #23641

Update Haddock submodule to fix #23368

This submodule update adds the following three commits:

bbf1c8ae - Check for puns
0550694e - Remove fake exports for (~), List, and Tuple<n>
5877bceb - Fix pretty-printing of Solo and MkSolo

These commits fix the issues with Haddock HTML rendering reported in
ticket #23368.

Fixes #23368

configure: Derive library version from ghc-prim.cabal.in

Since ghc-prim.cabal is now generated by Hadrian, we cannot depend upon
it.

Closes #23726.

tcExpr: Push expected types for untyped TH splices inwards

In !10911, I deleted a `tcExpr` case for `HsUntypedSplice` in favor of a much
simpler case that simply delegates to `tcApp`. Although this passed the test
suite at the time, this was actually an error, as the previous `tcExpr` case
was critically pushing the expected type inwards. This actually matters for
programs like the one in #23796, which GHC would not accept with type inference
alone—we need full-blown type _checking_ to accept these.

I have added back the previous `tcExpr` case for `HsUntypedSplice` and now
explain why we have two different `HsUntypedSplice` cases (one in `tcExpr` and
another in `splitHsApps`) in `Note [Looking through Template Haskell splices in
splitHsApps]` in `GHC.Tc.Gen.Head`.

Fixes #23796.
