hadrian: add hi_core flavour transformer

The hi_core flavour transformer enables -fwrite-if-simplified-core for
stage1 libraries, which emit core into interface files to make it
possible to restart code generation. Building boot libs with it makes
it easier to use GHC API to prototype experimental backends that needs
core/stg at link time.

Set "since: 9.8" for TypeAbstractions and -Wterm-variable-capture

These flags did not make it into the 9.6 release series,
so the "since" annotations must be corrected.

hadrian: disable alloca for in-tree GMP on wasm32

When building in-tree GMP for wasm32, disable its alloca usage, since
it may potentially cause stack overflow (e.g. #22602).

Bump process submodule

Includes a critical fix for wasm32, see
https://github.com/haskell/process/pull/272 for details. Also changes
the existing cross test to include process stuff and avoid future
regression here.

Fix #22742

runtimeRepLevity_maybe was panicing unnecessarily; and
the error printing code made use of the case when it should
return Nothing rather than panicing.

For some bizarre reason perf/compiler/T21839r shows a 10% bump in runtime
peak-megagbytes-used, on a single architecture (alpine). See !9753 for
commentary, but I'm going to accept it.

Metric Increase:
    T21839r
