Prefer packed representation for CompiledByteCode

As there are many 'CompiledByteCode' objects alive during a GHCi
session, representing its element in a more packed manner improves space
behaviour at a minimal cost.

When running GHCi on the agda codebase, we find around 380 live
'CompiledByteCode' objects. Packing their respective 'UnlinkedByteCode'
can save quite some pointers.

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.

users-guide: Clarify language extension documentation

Over the years the users guide's language extension documentation has
gone through quite a few refactorings. In the process some of the
descriptions have been rendered non-sensical. For instance, the
description of `NoImplicitPrelude` actually describes the semantics of
`ImplicitPrelude`.

To fix this we:

 * ensure that all extensions are named in their "positive" sense (e.g.
   `ImplicitPrelude` rather than `NoImplicitPrelude`).
 * rework the documentation to avoid flag-oriented wording
   like "enable" and "disable"
 * ensure that the polarity of the documentation is consistent with
   reality.

Fixes #23895.

driver: Make `checkHomeUnitsClosed` faster

The implementation of `checkHomeUnitsClosed` was traversing every single path
in the unit dependency graph - this grows exponentially and quickly grows to be
infeasible on larger unit dependency graphs.

Instead we replace this with a faster implementation which follows from the
specificiation of the closure property - there is a closure error if there are
units which are both are both (transitively) depended upon by home units and
(transitively) depend on home units, but are not themselves home units.

To compute the set of units required for closure, we first compute the closure
of the unit dependency graph, then the transpose of this closure, and find all
units that are reachable from the home units in the transpose of the closure.

Don't generate wrappers for `type data` constructors with StrictData

Previously, the logic for checking if a data constructor needs a wrapper or not
would take into account whether the constructor's fields have explicit
strictness (e.g., `data T = MkT !Int`), but the logic would _not_ take into
account whether `StrictData` was enabled. This meant that something like `type
data T = MkT Int` would incorrectly generate a wrapper for `MkT` if
`StrictData` was enabled, leading to the horrible errors seen in #24620. To fix
this, we disable generating wrappers for `type data` constructors altogether.

Fixes #24620.

Make template-haskell a stage1 package

Promoting template-haskell from a stage0 to a stage1 package means that
we can much more easily refactor template-haskell.

We implement this by duplicating the in-tree `template-haskell`.
A new `template-haskell-next` library is autogenerated to mirror `template-haskell`
`stage1:ghc` to depend on the new interface of the library including the
`Binary` instances without adding an explicit dependency on `template-haskell`.

This is controlled by the `bootstrap-th` cabal flag

When building `template-haskell` modules as part of this vendoring we do
not have access to quote syntax, so we cannot use variable quote
notation (`'Just`). So we either replace these with hand-written `Name`s
or hide the code behind CPP.

We can remove the `th_hack` from hadrian, which was required when
building stage0 packages using the in-tree `template-haskell` library.

For more details see Note [Bootstrapping Template Haskell].

testsuite: Rename isCross() predicate to needsTargetWrapper()

isCross() was a misnamed because it assumed that all cross targets would
provide a target wrapper, but the two most common cross targets
(javascript, wasm) don't need a target wrapper.

Therefore we rename this predicate to `needsTargetWrapper()` so
situations in the testsuite where we can check whether running
executables requires a target wrapper or not.

Do not float HNFs out of lambdas

This MR adjusts SetLevels so that it is less eager to float a
HNF (lambda or constructor application) out of a lambda, unless
it gets to top level.

Data suggests that this change is a small net win:
 * nofib bytes-allocated falls by -0.09% (but a couple go up)
 * perf/should_compile bytes-allocated falls by -0.5%
 * perf/should_run bytes-allocated falls by -0.1%
See !12410 for more detail.

When fiddling elsewhere, I also found that this patch had a huge
positive effect on the (very delicate) test
  perf/should_run/T21839r
But that improvement doesn't show up in this MR by itself.

Make `seq#` a magic Id and inline it in CorePrep (#24124)

We can save much code and explanation in Tag Inference and StgToCmm by making
`seq#` a known-key Magic Id in `GHC.Internal.IO` and inline this definition in
CorePrep. See the updated `Note [seq# magic]`.
I also implemented a new `Note [Flatten case-bind]` to get better code for
otherwise nested case scrutinees.

I renamed the contructors of `ArgInfo` to use an `AI` prefix in order to
resolve the clash between `type CpeApp = CoreExpr` and the data constructor of
`ArgInfo`, as well as fixed typos in `Note [CorePrep invariants]`.

Remove unecessary stage0 packages

Historically quite a few packages had to be stage0 as they depended on
`template-haskell` and that was stage0. In #23536 we made it so that was
no longer the case. This allows us to remove a bunch of packages from
this list.

A few still remain. A new version of `Win32` is required by
`semaphore-compat`. Including `Win32` in the stage0 set requires also
including `filepath` because otherwise Hadrian's dependency logic gets
confused. Once our boot compiler has a newer version of `Win32` all of
these will be able to be dropped.

JS: Add externs to linker (fixes #24602)

After enabling jsdoc and built-in google closure compiler types I was needed to deal with the following:

1. Define NodeJS-environment types. I've just copied minimal set of externs from semi-official repo (see https://github.com/externs/nodejs/blob/6c6882c73efcdceecf42e7ba11f1e3e5c9c041f0/v8/nodejs.js#L8).
2. Define Emscripten-environment types: `HEAP8`. Emscripten already provides some externs in our code but it supposed to be run in some module system. And its definitions do not work well in plain bundle.
3. We have some functions which purpose is to add to functions some contextual information via function properties. These functions should be marked as `modifies` to let google closure compiler remove calls if these functions are not used actually by call graph. Such functions are: `h$o`, `h$sti`, `h$init_closure`, `h$setObjInfo`.
4. STG primitives such as registries and stuff from `GHC.StgToJS`. `dXX` properties were already present at externs generator function but they are started from `7`, not from `1`. This message is related: `// fixme does closure compiler bite us here?`

JS: Add special preprocessor for js files due of needing to keep jsdoc comments (fixes #24602)

Our js files have defined google closure compiler types at jsdoc entries but these jsdoc entries are removed by cpp preprocessor. I considered that reusing them in javascript-backend would be a nice thing. Right now haskell processor uses `-traditional` option to deal with comments and `//` operators.
But now there are following compiler options: `-C` and `-CC`.
You can read about them at GCC (see https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Preprocessor-Options.html#index-CC) and CLang (see https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangCommandLineReference.html#cmdoption-clang-CC).
It seems that `-CC` works better for javascript jsdoc than `-traditional`.
At least it leaves `/* ... */` comments w/o changes.

Typecheck corebindings lazily during bytecode generation

This delays typechecking the corebindings until the bytecode generation
happens.

We also avoid allocating a thunk that is retained by `unsafeInterleaveIO`.
In general, we shouldn't retain values of the hydrated `Type`, as not evaluating
the bytecode object keeps it alive.

It is better if we retain the unhydrated `IfaceType`.

driver: force merge objects when building dynamic objects

This patch forces the driver to always merge objects when building
dynamic objects even when ar -L is supported. It is an oversight of
!8887: original rationale of that patch is favoring the relatively
cheap ar -L operation over object merging when ar -L is supported,
which makes sense but only if we are building static objects! Omitting
check for whether we are building dynamic objects will result in
broken .so files with undefined reference errors at executable link
time when building GHC with llvm-ar. Fixes #22210.

Don't depend on registerPackage function in Cabal

function introduces.

ghc-bignum: remove obsolete ln script

This commit removes an obsolete ln script in ghc-bignum/gmp. See
060251c24ad160264ae8553efecbb8bed2f06360 for its original intention,
but it's been obsolete for a long time, especially since the removal
of the make build system. Hence the house cleaning.

ghc-bignum: update gmp to 6.3.0

This patch bumps the gmp-tarballs submodule and updates gmp to 6.3.0.
The tarball format is now xz, and gmpsrc.patch has been patched into
the tarball so hadrian no longer needs to deal with patching logic
when building in-tree GMP.

Linearise ghc-internal and base build

This is achieved by requesting the final package database for
ghc-internal, which mandates it is fully built as a dependency of
configuring the `base` package. This is at the expense of cross-package

Refactor the Binary serialisation interface

The goal is simplifiy adding deduplication tables to `ModIface`
interface serialisation.

We identify two main points of interest that make this difficult:

1. UserData hardcodes what `Binary` instances can have deduplication
   tables. Moreover, it heavily uses partial functions.
2. GHC.Iface.Binary hardcodes the deduplication tables for 'Name' and
   'FastString', making it difficult to add more deduplication.

Instead of having a single `UserData` record with fields for all the
types that can have deduplication tables, we allow to provide custom
serialisers for any `Typeable`.
These are wrapped in existentials and stored in a `Map` indexed by their
respective `TypeRep`.
The `Binary` instance of the type to deduplicate still needs to
explicitly look up the decoder via `findUserDataReader` and
`findUserDataWriter`, which is no worse than the status-quo.

`Map` was chosen as microbenchmarks indicate it is the fastest for a
small number of keys (< 10).

To generalise the deduplication table serialisation mechanism, we
introduce the types `ReaderTable` and `WriterTable` which provide a
simple interface that is sufficient to implement a general purpose
deduplication mechanism for `writeBinIface` and `readBinIface`.

This allows us to provide a list of deduplication tables for
serialisation that can be extended more easily, for example for
`IfaceTyCon`, see the issue https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/24540
for more motivation.

In addition to this refactoring, we split `UserData` into `ReaderUserData`
and `WriterUserData`, to avoid partial functions and reduce overall
memory usage, as we need fewer mutable variables.

Bump haddock submodule to accomodate for `UserData` split.

Split `BinHandle` into `ReadBinHandle` and `WriteBinHandle`

A `BinHandle` contains too much information for reading data.
For example, it needs to keep a `FastMutInt` and a `IORef BinData`,
when the non-mutable variants would suffice.

Additionally, this change has the benefit that anyone can immediately
tell whether the `BinHandle` is used for reading or writing.

Bump haddock submodule BinHandle split.

Fix missing escaping-kind check in tcPatSynSig

Note [Escaping kind in type signatures] explains how we deal
with escaping kinds in type signatures, e.g.
    f :: forall r (a :: TYPE r). a
where the kind of the body is (TYPE r), but `r` is not in
scope outside the forall-type.

I had missed this subtlety in tcPatSynSig, leading to #24686.
This MR fixes it; and a similar bug in tc_top_lhs_type. (The
latter is tested by T24686a.)

unboxedSum{Type,Data}Name: Use GHC.Types as the module

Unboxed sum constructors are now defined in the `GHC.Types` module, so if you
manually quote an unboxed sum (e.g., `''Sum2#`), you will get a `Name` like:

```hs
GHC.Types.Sum2#
```

The `unboxedSumTypeName` function in `template-haskell`, however, mistakenly
believes that unboxed sum constructors are defined in `GHC.Prim`, so
`unboxedSumTypeName 2` would return an entirely different `Name`:

```hs
GHC.Prim.(#|#)
```

This is a problem for Template Haskell users, as it means that they can't be
sure which `Name` is the correct one. (Similarly for `unboxedSumDataName`.)

This patch fixes the implementations of `unboxedSum{Type,Data}Name` to use
`GHC.Types` as the module. For consistency with `unboxedTupleTypeName`, the
`unboxedSumTypeName` function now uses the non-punned syntax for unboxed sums
(`Sum<N>#`) as the `OccName`.

Fixes #24750.

Add the cmm_cpp_is_gcc predicate to the testsuite

A future C-- test called T24474-cmm-override-g0 relies on the
GCC-specific behaviour of -g3 implying -dD, which, in turn, leads to it
emitting #defines past the preprocessing stage.  Clang, at least, does
not do this, so the test would fail if ran on Clang.

As the behaviour here being tested is ``-optCmmP-g3'' undoing effects of
the workaround we apply as a fix for bug #24474, and the workaround was
for GCC-specific behaviour, the test needs to be marked as fragile on
other compilers.

Split out the C-- preprocessor, and make it pass -g0

Previously, C-- was processed with the C preprocessor program.  This
means that it inherited flags passed via -optc.  A flag that is somewhat
often passed through -optc is -g.  At certain -g levels (>=2), GCC
starts emitting defines *after* preprocessing, for the purposes of
debug info generation.  This is not useful for the C-- compiler, and, in
fact, causes lexer errors.  We can suppress this effect (safely, if
supported) via -g0.

As a workaround, in older versions of GCC (<=10), GCC only emitted
defines if a certain set of -g*3 flags was passed.  Newer versions check
the debug level.  For the former, we filter out those -g*3 flags and,
for the latter, we specify -g0 on top of that.

As a compatible and effective solution, this change adds a C--
preprocessor distinct from the C compiler and preprocessor, but that
keeps its flags.  The command line produced for C-- preprocessing now
looks like:

  $pgmCmmP $optCs_without_g3 $g0_if_supported $optCmmP

Espceially when TemplateHaskell is used, extra parens may be added out of
user's control and result in "valid" rules being rejected and there
are not always ways to workaround it.

Fixes #24621

Improve performance of Data.List.sort(By)

This patch improves the algorithm to sort lists in base.
It does so using two strategies:

1) Use a four-way-merge instead of the 'default' two-way-merge.
This is able to save comparisons and allocations.

2) Use `(>) a b` over `compare a b == GT` and allow inlining and specialization.
This mainly benefits types with a fast (>).

Note that this *may* break instances with a *malformed* Ord instance
where `a > b` is *not* equal to `compare a b == GT`.

Don't store a GlobalRdrEnv in `mi_globals` for GHCi.

GHCi only needs the `mi_globals` field for modules imported with
:module +*SomeModule.

It uses this field to make the top level environment in `SomeModule` available
to the repl.

By default, only the first target in the command line parameters is
"star" loaded into GHCi. Other modules have to be manually "star" loaded
into the repl.

Storing the top level GlobalRdrEnv for each module is very wasteful, especially
given that we will most likely never need most of these environments.

Instead we store only the information needed to reconstruct the top level environment
in a module, which is the `IfaceTopEnv` data structure, consisting of all import statements
as well as all top level symbols defined in the module (not taking export lists into account)

When a particular module is "star-loaded" into GHCi (as the first commandline target, or via
an explicit `:module +*SomeModule`, we reconstruct the top level environment on demand using
the `IfaceTopEnv`.

Improve pattern to type pattern transformation (23739)

`pat_to_type_pat` function now can handle more patterns:
  - TuplePat
  - ListPat
  - LitPat
  - NPat
  - ConPat

Allowing these new constructors in type patterns significantly
increases possible shapes of type patterns without `type` keyword.

This patch also changes how lookups in `lookupOccRnConstr` are
performed, because we need to fall back into
types when we didn't find a constructor on data level to perform
`ConPat` to type transformation properly.

Add Eq and Ord instance to `IfaceType`

We add an `Ord` instance so that we can store `IfaceType` in a
`Data.Map` container.
This is required to deduplicate `IfaceType` while writing `.hi` files to
disk. Deduplication has many beneficial consequences to both file size
and memory usage, as the deduplication enables implicit sharing of
values.
See issue #24540 for more motivation.

The `Ord` instance would be unnecessary if we used a `TrieMap` instead
of `Data.Map` for the deduplication process. While in theory this is
clerarly the better option, experiments on the agda code base showed
that a `TrieMap` implementation has worse run-time performance
characteristics.

To the change itself, we mostly derive `Eq` and `Ord`. This requires us
to change occurrences of `FastString` with `LexicalFastString`, since
`FastString` has no `Ord` instance.
We change the definition of `IfLclName` to a newtype of
`LexicalFastString`, to make such changes in the future easier.

Bump haddock submodule for IfLclName changes

Add deduplication table for `IfaceType`

The type `IfaceType` is a highly redundant, tree-like data structure.
While benchmarking, we realised that the high redundancy of `IfaceType`
causes high memory consumption in GHCi sessions when byte code is
embedded into the `.hi` file via `-fwrite-if-simplified-core` or
`-fbyte-code-and-object-code`.
Loading such `.hi` files from disk introduces many duplicates of
memory expensive values in `IfaceType`, such as `IfaceTyCon`,
`IfaceTyConApp`, `IA_Arg` and many more.

We improve the memory behaviour of GHCi by adding an additional
deduplication table for `IfaceType` to the serialisation of `ModIface`,
similar to how we deduplicate `Name`s and `FastString`s.
When reading the interface file back, the table allows us to automatically
share identical values of `IfaceType`.

To provide some numbers, we evaluated this patch on the agda code base.
We loaded the full library from the `.hi` files, which contained the
embedded core expressions (`-fwrite-if-simplified-core`).

Before this patch:

* Load time: 11.7 s, 2.5 GB maximum residency.

After this patch:

* Load time:  7.3 s, 1.7 GB maximum residency.

This deduplication has the beneficial side effect to additionally reduce
the size of the on-disk interface files tremendously.

For example, on agda, we reduce the size of `.hi` files (with
`-fwrite-if-simplified-core`):

* Before: 101 MB on disk
* Now:     24 MB on disk

This has even a beneficial side effect on the cabal store. We reduce the
size of the store on disk:

* Before: 341 MB on disk
* Now:    310 MB on disk

Note, none of the dependencies have been compiled with
`-fwrite-if-simplified-core`, but `IfaceType` occurs in multiple
locations in a `ModIface`.

We also add IfaceType deduplication table to .hie serialisation and
refactor .hie file serialisation to use the same infrastrucutre as
`putWithTables`.

Bump haddock submodule to accomodate for changes to the deduplication
table layout and binary interface.

Add run-time configurability of `.hi` file compression

Introduce the flag `-fwrite-if-compression=<n>` which allows to
configure the compression level of writing .hi files.

The motivation is that some deduplication operations are too expensive
for the average use case. Hence, we introduce multiple compression
levels with variable impact on performance, but still reduce the
memory residency and `.hi` file size on disk considerably.

We introduce three compression levels:

* `1`: `Normal` mode. This is the least amount of compression.
    It deduplicates only `Name` and `FastString`s, and is naturally the
    fastest compression mode.
* `2`: `Safe` mode. It has a noticeable impact on .hi file size and is
  marginally slower than `Normal` mode. In general, it should be safe to
  always use `Safe` mode.
* `3`: `Full` deduplication mode. Deduplicate as much as we can,
  resulting in minimal .hi files, but at the cost of additional
  compilation time.

Reading .hi files doesn't need to know the initial compression level,
and can always deserialise a `ModIface`, as we write out a byte that
indicates the next value has been deduplicated.
This allows users to experiment with different compression levels for
packages, without recompilation of dependencies.

Note, the deduplication also has an additional side effect of reduced
memory consumption to implicit sharing of deduplicated elements.
See https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/24540 for example where
that matters.
