Stop configuring unused Ld command in `settings`

GHC has no direct dependence on the linker. Rather, we depend upon the C
compiler for linking and an object-merging program (which is typically
`ld`) for production of GHCi objects and merging of C stubs into final
object files.

Despite this, for historical reasons we still recorded information about
the linker into `settings`. Remove these entries from `settings`,
`hadrian/cfg/system.config`, as well as the `configure` logic
responsible for this information.

Closes #23566.

Pass positional arguments in their positions

By quoting $cmd, the default "bash -i" is a single argument to run, and
no file named "bash -i" actually exists to be run.

Configure CPP into settings

There is a distinction to be made between the Haskell Preprocessor and
the C preprocessor. The former is used to preprocess Haskell files,
while the latter is used in C preprocessing such as Cmm files.

In practice, they are both the same program (usually the C compiler) but
invoked with different flags.

Previously we would, at configure time, configure the haskell
preprocessor and save the configuration in the settings file, but,
instead of doing the same for CPP, we had hardcoded in GHC that the CPP
program was either `cc -E` or `cpp`.

This commit fixes that asymmetry by also configuring CPP at configure
time, and tries to make more explicit the difference between HsCpp and
Cpp (see Note [Preprocessing invocations]).

Note that we don't use the standard CPP and CPPFLAGS to configure Cpp,
but instead use the non-standard --with-cpp and --with-cpp-flags.
The reason is that autoconf sets CPP to "$CC -E", whereas we expect the
CPP command to be configured as a standalone executable rather than a
command. These are symmetrical with --with-hs-cpp and
--with-hs-cpp-flags.

Cleanup: Hadrian no longer needs to pass the CPP configuration for CPP
         to be C99 compatible through -optP, since we now configure that
         into settings.

Closes #23422

hadrian: Always canonicalize topDirectory

Hadrian's `topDirectory` is intended to provide an absolute path to the
root of the GHC tree. However, if the tree is reached via a symlink this

One question here is whether the `canonicalizePath` call is expensive
enough to warrant caching. In a quick microbenchmark I observed that
`canonicalizePath "."` takes around 10us per call; this seems
sufficiently low not to worry.

Alternatively, another approach here would have been to rather move the
canonicalization into `m4/fp_find_root.m4`. This would have avoided
repeated canonicalization but sadly path canonicalization is a hard
problem in POSIX shell.

Addresses #22451.

Fix typechecking of promoted empty lists

The `'[]` case in `tc_infer_hs_type` is smart enough to handle arity-0 uses of
`'[]` (see the newly added `T23543` test case for an example), but the `'[]`
case in `tc_hs_type` was not. We fix this by changing the `tc_hs_type` case to
invoke `tc_infer_hs_type`, as prescribed in `Note [Future-proofing the type
checker]`.

There are some benign changes to test cases' expected output due to the new
code path using `forall a. [a]` as the kind of `'[]` rather than `[k]`.

Fixes #23543.

Configure MergeObjs supports response files rather than Ld

The previous configuration script to test whether Ld supported response
files was
* Incorrect (see #23542)
* Used, in practice, to check if the *merge objects tool* supported
  response files.

This commit modifies the macro to run the merge objects tool (rather
than Ld), using a response file, and checking the result with $NM

Fixes #23542

testsuite: Do not require CUSKs

Numerous tests make use of CUSKs (complete user-supplied kinds),
a legacy feature scheduled for deprecation. In order to proceed
with the said deprecation, the tests have been updated to use SAKS
instead (standalone kind signatures).

This also allows us to remove the Haskell2010 language pragmas that
were added in 115cd3c85a8 to work around the lack of CUSKs in GHC2021.
