base: Advertise linear time of readFloat

As noted in #23538, `readFloat` has runtime that scales nonlinearly in
the size of its input. Consequently, its use on untrusted input can
be exploited as a denial-of-service vector. Point this out and suggest
use of `read` instead.

See #23538.

Pass quantified tyvars in tcDefaultAssocDecl

This commit passes the correct set of quantified type variables written
by the user in associated type default declarations for validity
checking. This ensures that validity checking of associated type defaults
mirrors that of standalone type family instances.

Fixes #23768 (see testcase T23734 in subsequent commit)

Avoid panic in mkGADTVars

This commit avoids panicking in mkGADTVars when we encounter

forall but not actually used.

Adjust reporting of unused tyvars in data FamInsts

This commit adjusts the validity checking of data family
instances to improve the reporting of unused type variables.

See Note [Out of scope tvs in data family instances] in GHC.Tc.Validity.

The problem was that, in a situation such as

  data family D :: Type
  data instance forall (d :: Type). D = MkD

the RHS passed to 'checkFamPatBinders' would be the TyCon app

  R:D d

which mentions the type variable 'd' quantified in the user-written
forall. Thus, when computing the set of unused type variables in
the RHS of the data family instance, we would find that 'd' is used,
and report a strange error message that would say that 'd' is not
bound on the LHS.

To fix this, we special-case the data-family instance case,
manually extracting all the type variables that appear in the
arguments of all the data constructores of the data family instance.

Fixes #23778

Unused tyvars in FamInst: only report user tyvars

This commit changes how we perform some validity checking for
coercion axioms to mirror how we handle default declarations for
associated type families. This allows us to keep track of whether
type variables in type and data family instances were user-written
or not, in order to only report the user-written ones in
"unused type variable" error messages.

Consider for example:

  {-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds #-}
  type family F
  type instance forall a. F = ()

In this case, we get two quantified type variables,
(k :: Type) and (a :: k); the second being user-written, but the first
is introduced by the typechecker. We should only report 'a' as being
unused, as the user has no idea what 'k' is.

Fixes #23734

Validity: refactor treatment of data families

This commit refactors the reporting of unused type variables in type

logic in the treatment of data family instances.

Remove `ghc-cabal`

It is dead code since the Make build system was removed.

I tried to go over every match of `git grep -i ghc-cabal` to find other
stray bits. Some of those might be workarounds that can be further
removed.

hadrian: Make it easier to debug Cabal configure

Right now, output is squashed. This make per-package configure scripts
extremely hard to maintain, because we get vague "library is missing"
errors when the actually probably is usually completely unrelated except
for also involving the C/C++ toolchain.

(I can always pass `-VVV` to Hadrian locally, but these errors are
subtle and I often cannot reproduce them locally!)

`--disable-option-checking` was added back in
75c6e0684dda585c37b4ac254cd7a13537a59a91 but seems to be a bit overkill;
if other flags are passed that are not recognized behind the two from
Cabal mentioned in the former comment, we *do* want to know about it.

hadrian: Increase verbosity of certain cabal commands

This is a hack to get around the cabal function we're calling
*decreasing* the verbosity it passes to another function, which is the
stuff we often actually care about. Sigh.

Keeping this a separate commit so if this makes things too verbose it is
easy to revert.

rts: Move most external symbols logic to the configure script

This is much more terse because we are programmatically handling the
leading underscore.

`findPtr` however is still handled in the Cabal file because we need a
newer Cabal to pass flags to the configure script automatically.

Move lib{numa,dw} defines to RTS configure

Clean up the m4 to handle the auto case always and be more consistent.
Also simplify the CPP --- we should always have both headers if we are
using libnuma.

"side effects" (AC_DEFINE, and AC_SUBST) are removed from the macros to
better separate searching from actions taken based on search results.
This might seem overkill now, but will make shuffling logic between
configure scripts easier later.

The macro comments are converted from `dnl` to `#` following the
recomendation in
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.71/html_node/Macro-Definitions.html

Refactor: introduce stgArgRep

The function 'stgArgType' returns the type in STG. But this violates
the abstraction: in STG we're supposed to operate on PrimReps.

This introduces
stgArgRep ty = typePrimRep (stgArgType ty)
stgArgRep1 ty = typePrimRep1 (stgArgType ty)
stgArgRep_maybe ty = typePrimRep_maybe (stgArgType ty)

stgArgType is still directly used for unboxed tuples (should be fixable), FFI
and in ticky.

This commit adds new Hadrian targets:

  codes:outdated - list outdated diagnostic codes

This allows users to easily query GHC for used and outdated
diagnostic codes, e.g.

  hadrian/build -j --flavour=<..> codes

will list all used diagnostic codes in the command line by running
the lint-codes utility in the "list codes" mode of operation.

The diagnostic code consistency and coverage test is still run as usual,
through the testsuite:

Refactor to combine HsLam and HsLamCase

This MR is pure refactoring (#23916):
* Combine `HsLam` and `HsLamCase`
* Combine `HsCmdLam` and `HsCmdLamCase`

This just arranges to treat uniformly
   \x -> e
   \case pi -> ei
   \cases pis -> ie

In the exising code base the first is treated differently
to the latter two.

No change in behaviour.

More specifics:

* Combine `HsLam` and `HsLamCase` (constructors of `Language.Haskell.Syntax.Expr.HsExpr`) into one data construtor covering
  * Lambda
  * `\case`
  * `\cases`

* The new `HsLam` has an argument of type `HsLamVariant` to distinguish the three cases.

* Similarly, combine `HsCmdLam` and `HsCmdLamCase` (constructors of `Language.Haskell.Syntax.Expr.HsCmd` ) into one.

* Similarly, combine `mkHsLamPV` and `mkHsLamCasePV` (methods of class `DisambECP`) into one. (Thank you Alan Zimmerman.)

* Similarly, combine `LambdaExpr` and `LamCaseAlt` (constructors of `Language.Haskell.Syntax.Expr.HsMatchContext`) into one: `LamAlt` with a `HsLamVariant` argument.

* Similarly, combine `KappaExpr` and `ArrowLamCaseAlt` (constructors of `Language.Haskell.Syntax.Expr.HsArrowMatchContext`) into one: `ArrowLamAlt` with a `HsLamVariant` argument.

* Similarly, combine `PsErrLambdaInPat` and `PsErrLambdaCaseInPat` (constructors of `GHC.Parser.Errors.Ppr.PsError`) into one.

* Similarly, combine `PsErrLambdaInPat` and `PsErrLambdaCaseInPat` (constructors of `GHC.Parser.Errors.Ppr.PsError`) into one.

* In the same `PsError` data type, combine `PsErrLambdaCmdInFunAppCmd` and `PsErrLambdaCaseCmdInFunAppCmd` into one.

* In the same `PsError` data tpye, combine `PsErrLambdaInFunAppExpr` and `PsErrLambdaCaseInFunAppExpr` into one.

p* Smilarly combine `ExpectedFunTyLam` and `ExpectedFunTyLamCase` (constructors of `GHC.Tc.Types.Origin.ExpectedFunTyOrigin`) into one.

Phew!

configure: Fix #21712 again

This is a bit of a shot in the dark to fix #24033, which appears to be
another instance of #21712. For some reason the ld-override logic
*still* appears to be active on Darwin targets (or at least one).
Consequently, on misconfigured systems we may choose a non-`ld64`
linker.

It's a bit unclear exactly what happened in #24033 but ultimately the
check added for #21712 was not quite right, checking for the
`ghc_host_os` (the value of which depends upon the bootstrap compiler)
instead of the target platform. Fix this.

Fixes #24033.

Revert "Pass preprocessor options to C compiler when building foreign C files (#16737)"

This reverts commit 1c18d3b41f897f34a93669edaebe6069f319f9e2.

`-optP` should pass options to the preprocessor, that might be a very
different program to the C compiler, so passing the options to the C
compiler is likely to result in `-optP` being useless.
