Replace `SizedSeq` with `FlatBag` for flattened structure

LinkedLists are notoriously memory ineffiecient when all we do is
traversing a structure.
As 'UnlinkedBCO' has been identified as a data structure that impacts
the overall memory usage of GHCi sessions, we avoid linked lists and
prefer flattened structure for storing.

We introduce a new memory efficient representation of sequential
elements that has special support for the cases:

* Empty
* Singleton
* Tuple Elements

This improves sharing in the 'Empty' case and avoids the overhead of
'Array' until its constant overhead is justified.

Compact FlatBag array representation

`Array` contains three additional `Word`'s we do not need in `FlatBag`. Move
`FlatBag` to `SmallArray`.

Expand the API of SmallArray by `sizeofSmallArray` and add common
traversal functions, such as `mapSmallArray` and `foldMapSmallArray`.
Additionally, allow users to force the elements of a `SmallArray`
via `rnfSmallArray`.

Change how invisible patterns represented in  haskell syntax and TH AST (#24557)

Before this patch:
  data ArgPat p
    = InvisPat (LHsType p)
    | VisPat (LPat p)

With this patch:
  data Pat p
    = ...
    | InvisPat (LHsType p)
    ...

And the same transformation in the TH land. The rest of the
changes is just updating code to handle new AST and writing tests
to check if it is possible to create invalid states using TH.

Metric Increase:
    MultiLayerModulesTH_OneShot

compiler: Allow more types in GHCForeignImportPrim

For many, many years `GHCForeignImportPrim` has suffered from the rather
restrictive limitation of not allowing any non-trivial types in arguments
or results. This limitation was justified by the code generator allegely
barfing in the presence of such types.

However, this restriction appears to originate well before the NCG
rewrite and the new NCG does not appear to have any trouble with such
types (see the added `T24598` test). Lift this restriction.

Fixes #24598.

linker: Avoid linear search when looking up Haskell symbols via dlsym

See the primary Note [Looking up symbols in the relevant objects] for a
more in-depth explanation.

When dynamically loading a Haskell symbol (typical when running a splice or
GHCi expression), before this commit we would search for the symbol in
all dynamic libraries that were loaded. However, this could be very
inefficient when too many packages are loaded (which can happen if there are
many package dependencies) because the time to lookup the would be
linear in the number of packages loaded.

This commit drastically improves symbol loading performance by
introducing a mapping from units to the handles of corresponding loaded
dlls. These handles are returned by dlopen when we load a dll, and can
then be used to look up in a specific dynamic library.

Looking up a given Name is now much more precise because we can get
lookup its unit in the mapping and lookup the symbol solely in the
handles of the dynamic libraries loaded for that unit.

In one measurement, the wait time before the expression was executed
went from +-38 seconds down to +-2s.

This commit also includes Note [Symbols may not be found in pkgs_loaded],
explaining the fallback to the old behaviour in case no dll can be found
in the unit mapping for a given Name.

Fixes #23415

rts: Make addDLL a wrapper around loadNativeObj

Rewrite the implementation of `addDLL` as a wrapper around the more
principled `loadNativeObj` rts linker function. The latter should be
preferred while the former is preserved for backwards compatibility.

`loadNativeObj` was previously only available on ELF platforms, so this
commit further refactors the rts linker to transform loadNativeObj_ELF
into loadNativeObj_POSIX, which is available in ELF and MachO platforms.

The refactor made it possible to remove the `dl_mutex` mutex in favour
of always using `linker_mutex` (rather than a combination of both).

Lastly, we implement `loadNativeObj` for Windows too.

Use symbol cache in internal interpreter too

This commit makes the symbol cache that was used by the external
interpreter available for the internal interpreter too.

This follows from the analysis in #23415 that suggests the internal
interpreter could benefit from this cache too, and that there is no good
reason not to have the cache for it too. It also makes it a bit more
uniform to have the symbol cache range over both the internal and
external interpreter.

This commit also refactors the cache into a function which is used by
both `lookupSymbol` and also by `lookupSymbolInDLL`, extending the
caching logic to `lookupSymbolInDLL` too.
