Three compile perf improvements with deep nesting
These were changes are all triggered by #24471.
1. Make GHC.Core.Opt.SetLevels.lvlMFE behave better when there are
many free variables. See Note [Large free-variable sets].
2. Make GHC.Core.Opt.Arity.floatIn a bit lazier in its Cost argument.
This benefits the common case where the ArityType turns out to
be nullary. See Note [Care with nested expressions]
3. Make GHC.CoreToStg.Prep.cpeArg behave for deeply-nested
expressions. See Note [Eta expansion of arguments in CorePrep]
wrinkle (EA2).
Compile times go down by up to 4.5%, and much more in artificial
cases. (Geo mean of compiler/perf changes is -0.4%.)

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Consider
+ arityType (Just <big-expressions>)
+We will take
+ arityType Just = AT [(IsCheap,os)] topDiv
+and then do
+ arityApp (AT [(IsCheap os)] topDiv) (exprCost <big-expression>)
+The result will be AT [] topDiv. It doesn't matter what <big-expresison>
+is! The same is true of
+ arityType (let x = <rhs> in <body>)
+where the cost of <rhs> doesn't matter unless <body> has a useful
+arityType.
+
+TL;DR in `floatIn`, do not to look at the Cost argument until you have to.
+
+I found this when looking at #24471, although I don't think it was really
+the main culprit.

+Note [Large free-variable sets]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+In #24471 we had something like
+ x1 = I# 1
+ ...
+ x1000 = I# 1000
+ foo = f x1 (f x2 (f x3 ....))
+So every sub-expression in `foo` has lots and lots of free variables. But
+none of these sub-expressions float anywhere; the entire float-out pass is a
+no-op.
+
+In lvlMFE, we want to find out quickly if the MFE is not-floatable; that is
+the common case. In #24471 it turned out that we were testing `abs_vars` (a
+relatively complicated calculation that takes at least O(n-free-vars) time to
+compute) for every sub-expression.
+
+Better instead to test `float_me` early. That still involves looking at
+dest_lvl, which means looking at every free variable, but the constant factor
+is a lot better.
+
+ToDo: find a way to fix the bad asymptotic complexity.

@@ -1685,6 +1669,22 @@ There is a nasty Wrinkle:
This scenario occurs rarely; hence it's OK to generate sub-optimal code.
The alternative would be to fix Note [Eta expansion for join points], but
that's quite challenging due to unfoldings of (recursive) join points.
+
+(EA2) In cpeArgArity, if float_decision = FloatNone) the `arg` will look like
+ let <binds> in rhs
+ where <binds> is non-empty and can't be floated out of a lazy context (see
+ `wantFloatLocal`). So we can't eta-expand it anyway, so we can return 0
+ forthwith. Without this short-cut we will call exprEtaExpandArity on the
+ `arg`, and <binds> might be enormous. exprEtaExpandArity be very expensive
+ on this: it uses arityType, and may look at <binds>.
+
+ On the other hand, if float_decision = FloatAll, there will be no
+ let-bindings around 'arg'; they will have floated out. So
+ exprEtaExpandArity is cheap.
+
+ This can make a huge difference on deeply nested expressions like
+ f (f (f (f (f ...))))
+ #24471 is a good example, where Prep took 25% of compile time!
