Linear let and where bindings

For expediency, the initial implementation of linear types in GHC
made it so that let and where binders would always be considered
unrestricted. This was rather unpleasant, and probably a big obstacle
to adoption. At any rate, this was not how the proposal was designed.

This patch fixes this infelicity. It was surprisingly difficult to
build, which explains, in part, why it took so long to materialise.

As of this patch, let or where bindings marked with %1 will be
linear (respectively %p for an arbitrary multiplicity p). Unmarked let
will infer their multiplicity.

Here is a prototypical example of program that used to be rejected and
is accepted with this patch:

```haskell
f :: A %1 -> B
g :: B %1 -> C

h :: A %1 -> C
h x = g y
  where
    y = f x
```

Exceptions:
- Recursive let are unrestricted, as there isn't a clear semantics of
  what a linear recursive binding would be.
- Destructive lets with lazy bindings are unrestricted, as their
  desugaring isn't linear (see also #23461).
- (Strict) destructive lets with inferred polymorphic type are
  unrestricted. Because the desugaring isn't linear (See #18461
  down-thread).

Closes #18461 and #18739

Introduce `dataToTagSmall#` primop (closes #21710)

...and use it to generate slightly better code when dataToTag#
is used at a "small data type" where there is no need to mess
with "is_too_big_tag" or potentially look at an info table.

Allow untyped brackets in typed splices and vice versa.

Resolves #24190

Apparently the check was essentially always (as far as I can trace back: d0d47ba76f8f0501cf3c4966bc83966ab38cac27),
and while it does catch some mismatches, the type-checker will catch
them too. OTOH, it prevents writing completely reasonable programs.

Drop hard Xcode dependency

XCODE_VERSION calls out to `xcodebuild`, which is only available
when having `Xcode` installed. The CommandLineTools are not
sufficient. To install Xcode, you must have an apple id to download
the Xcode.xip from apple.

We do not use xcodebuild anywhere in our build explicilty. At best
it appears to be a proxy for checking the linker or the compiler.
These should rather be done with
```
xcrun ld -version
```
or similar, and not by proxy through Xcode. The CLR should be
sufficient for building software on macOS.

rts/eventlog: Avoid truncating event sizes

Previously ensureRoomForVariableEvent would truncate the desired size to
16-bits, resulting in #24197.

JS: Mark spurious CI failures js_fragile(24259)

This marks the spurious test failures on the JS platform as
js_fragile(24259), so we don't hold up merge requests while
fixing the underlying issues.

Fix thunk update ordering

Previously we attempted to ensure soundness of concurrent thunk update
by synchronizing on the access of the thunk's info table pointer field.
This was believed to be sufficient since the indirectee (which may
expose a closure allocated by another core) would not be examined
until the info table pointer update is complete.

However, it turns out that this can result in data races in the presence
of multiple threads racing a update a single thunk. For instance,
consider this interleaving under the old scheme:

            Thread A                             Thread B
            ---------                            ---------
    t=0     Enter t
      1     Push update frame
      2     Begin evaluation

      4     Pause thread
      5     t.indirectee=tso
      6     Release t.info=BLACKHOLE

      7     ... (e.g. GC)

      8     Resume thread
      9     Finish evaluation
      10    Relaxed t.indirectee=x

      11                                         Load t.info
      12                                         Acquire fence
      13                                         Inspect t.indirectee

      14    Release t.info=BLACKHOLE

Here Thread A enters thunk `t` but is soon paused, resulting in `t`
being lazily blackholed at t=6. Then, at t=10 Thread A finishes
evaluation and updates `t.indirectee` with a relaxed store.

Meanwhile, Thread B enters the blackhole. Under the old scheme this
would introduce an acquire-fence but this would only synchronize with
Thread A at t=6. Consequently, the result of the evaluation, `x`, is not
visible to Thread B, introducing a data race.

We fix this by treating the `indirectee` field as we do all other
mutable fields. This means we must always access this field with
acquire-loads and release-stores.

See #23185.

cmm: Introduce MO_RelaxedRead

In hand-written Cmm it can sometimes be necessary to atomically load
from memory deep within an expression (e.g. see the `CHECK_GC` macro).
This MachOp provides a convenient way to do so without breaking the
expression into multiple statements.

rts: Fix synchronization on thread blocking state

We now use a release barrier whenever we update a thread's blocking
state. This required widening StgTSO.why_blocked as AArch64 does not
support atomic writes on 16-bit values.
