Add `__GLASGOW_HASKELL_ASSERTS_IGNORED__` as CPP macro name if `-fasserts-ignored is set.

This allows users to create their own Control.Exception.assert-like functionality that
does something other than raising an `AssertFailed` exception.

Fixes #24967

Fix a QuickLook bug

This MR fixes the bug exposed by #24676.  The problem was that
quickLookArg was trying to avoid calling tcInstFun unnecessarily; but
it was in fact necessary.  But that in turn forced me into a
significant refactoring, putting more fields into EValArgQL.

Highlights: see Note [Quick Look overview] in GHC.Tc.Gen.App

* Instantiation variables are now distinguishable from ordinary
  unification variables, by level number = QLInstVar. This is
  treated like "level infinity".  See Note [The QLInstVar TcLevel]
  in GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType.

* In `tcApp`, we don't track the instantiation variables in a set Delta
  any more; instead, we just tell them apart by their level number.

* EValArgQL now much more clearly captures the "half-done" state
  of typechecking an argument, ready for later resumption.
  See Note [Quick Look at value arguments] in GHC.Tc.Gen.App

* Elminated a bogus (never used) fast-path in
  GHC.Tc.Utils.Instantiate.instCallConstraints
  See Note [Possible fast path for equality constraints]

Many other small refactorings.

haddock: Fix hyperlinker source urls (#24907)

This fixes a bug introduced by f56838c36235febb224107fa62334ebfe9941aba Links to
external modules in the hyperlinker are uniformly generated using splicing the
template given to us instead of attempting to construct the url in an ad-hoc manner.

haddock: Add name anchor to external source urls from documentation page

URLs for external source links from documentation pages were missing a splice
location for the name.

Prioritise nominal equalities

The main payload of this patch is

* Prioritise nominal equalities in the constraint solver. This
  ameliorates the incompleteness of solving for representational
  constraints over newtypes: see #24887.

   See (EX2) in Note [Decomposing newtype equalities] in
   GHC.Tc.Solver.Equality

In doing this patch I tripped over some other things that I refactored:

* Move `isCoVarType` from `GHC.Core.Type` to `GHC.Core.Predicate`
  where it seems more at home.

* Clarify the "rewrite role" of a constraint.  I was very puzzled
  about what the role of, say `(Eq a)` might be, but see the new
  Note [The rewrite-role of a constraint].

  In doing so I made predTypeEqRel crash when given a non-equality.
  Usually it expects an equality; but it was being mis-used for
  the above rewrite-role stuff.

rts: use page sized mblocks on wasm

This patch changes mblock size to page size on wasm. It allows us to
simplify our wasi-libc fork, makes it much easier to test third party
libc allocators like emmalloc/mimalloc, as well as experimenting with
threaded RTS in wasm.

base: Use a more appropriate unicode arrow for the ByteArray diagram

This commit rectifies the usage of a unicode arrow in favour of one that
