Stricter Binary.get in GHC.Types.Unit (#23964)

I noticed some thunking while looking at Core.
This change has very modest, but throughout positive ghc/alloc effect:

```
 hard_hole_fits(normal) ghc/alloc    283,057,664    281,620,872  -0.5%

              geo. mean                                          -0.1%
              minimum                                            -0.5%
              maximum                                            +0.0%
```

Fixes #23964.
