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

Add -fpolymorphic-specialisation flag (off by default at all optimisation levels)

Polymorphic specialisation has led to a number of hard to diagnose
incorrect runtime result bugs (see #23469, #23109, #21229, #23445) so
this commit introduces a flag `-fpolymorhphic-specialisation` which
allows users to turn on this experimental optimisation if they are
willing to buy into things going very wrong.

Ticket #23469

Rip out runtime linker/compiler checks

We used to choose flags to pass to the toolchain at runtime based on the
platform running GHC, and in this commit we drop all of those runtime
linker checks

Ultimately, this represents a change in policy: We no longer adapt at
runtime to the toolchain being used, but rather make final decisions
about the toolchain used at /configure time/
(we have deleted Note [Run-time linker info] altogether!).

This works towards the goal of having all toolchain configuration logic
living in the same place, which facilities the work towards a
runtime-retargetable GHC (see #19877).

As of this commit, the runtime linker/compiler logic was moved to
autoconf, but soon it, and the rest of the existing toolchain
configuration logic, will live in the standalone ghc-toolchain program
(see !9263)

In particular, what used to be done at runtime is now as follows:
* The flags -Wl,--no-as-needed for needed shared libs are configured
  into settings
* The flag -fstack-check is configured into settings
* The check for broken tables-next-to-code was outdated
* We use the configured c compiler by default as the assembler program
* We drop `asmOpts` because we already configure -Qunused-arguments flag
  into settings (see !10589)

Fixes #23562
