The X86 SIMD patch.

This commit adds support for 128 bit wide SIMD vectors and vector
operations to GHC's X86 native code generator.

Main changes:

  - Introduction of vector formats (`GHC.CmmToAsm.Format`)
  - Introduction of 128-bit virtual register (`GHC.Platform.Reg`),
    and removal of unused Float virtual register.
  - Refactor of `GHC.Platform.Reg.Class.RegClass`: it now only contains
    two classes, `RcInteger` (for general purpose registers) and `RcFloatOrVector`
    (for registers that can be used for scalar floating point values as well
    as vectors).
  - Modify `GHC.CmmToAsm.X86.Instr.regUsageOfInstr` to keep track
    of which format each register is used at, so that the register
    allocator can know if it needs to spill the entire vector register
    or just the lower 64 bits.
  - Modify spill/load/reg-2-reg code to account for vector registers
    (`GHC.CmmToAsm.X86.Instr.{mkSpillInstr, mkLoadInstr, mkRegRegMoveInstr, takeRegRegMoveInstr}`).
  - Modify the register allocator code (`GHC.CmmToAsm.Reg.*`) to propagate
    the format we are storing in any given register, for instance changing
    `Reg` to `RegFormat` or `GlobalReg` to `GlobalRegUse`.
  - Add logic to lower vector `MachOp`s to X86 assembly
    (see `GHC.CmmToAsm.X86.CodeGen`)
  - Minor cleanups to genprimopcode, to remove the llvm_only attribute
    which is no longer applicable.

Tests for this feature are provided in the "testsuite/tests/simd" directory.

Fixes #7741

Keeping track of register formats adds a small memory overhead to the
register allocator (in particular, regUsageOfInstr now allocates more
to keep track of the `Format` each register is used at). This explains
the following metric increases.

Use xmm registers in genapply

This commit updates genapply to use xmm, ymm and zmm registers, for
stg_ap_v16/stg_ap_v32/stg_ap_v64, respectively.

It also updates the Cmm lexer and parser to produce Cmm vectors rather
than 128/256/512 bit wide scalars for V16/V32/V64, removing bits128,
bits256 and bits512 in favour of vectors.

The Cmm Lint check is weakened for vectors, as (in practice, e.g. on X86)
it is okay to use a single vector register to hold multiple different
types of data, and we don't know just from seeing e.g. "XMM1" how to
interpret the 128 bits of data within.

Fixes #25062

Add vector fused multiply-add operations

This commit adds fused multiply add operations such as `fmaddDoubleX2#`.
These are handled both in the X86 NCG and the LLVM backends.

Add vector shuffle primops

This adds vector shuffle primops, such as

```
shuffleFloatX4# :: FloatX4# -> FloatX4# -> (# Int#, Int#, Int#, Int# #) -> FloatX4#
```

which shuffle the components of the input two vectors into the output vector.

NB: the indices must be compile time literals, to match the X86 SHUFPD
instruction immediate and the LLVM shufflevector instruction.

These are handled in the X86 NCG and the LLVM backend.

Tested in simd009.

Add Broadcast MachOps

This adds proper MachOps for broadcast instructions, allowing us to
produce better code for broadcasting a value than simply packing that
value (doing many vector insertions in a row).

These are lowered in the X86 NCG and LLVM backends. In the LLVM backend,
it uses the previously introduced shuffle instructions.

Fix treatment of signed zero in vector negation

This commit fixes the handling of signed zero in floating-point vector
negation.

A slight hack was introduced to work around the fact that Cmm doesn't
currently have a notion of signed floating point literals
(see get_float_broadcast_value_reg). This can be removed once CmmFloat
can express the value -0.0.

The simd006 test has been updated to use a stricter notion of equality
of floating-point values, which ensure the validity of this change.

Add min/max primops

This commit adds min/max primops, such as

  minDouble# :: Double# -> Double# -> Double#
  minFloatX4# :: FloatX4# -> FloatX4# -> FloatX4#
  minWord16X8# :: Word16X8# -> Word16X8# -> Word16X8#

These are supported in:
  - the X86, AArch64 and PowerPC NCGs,
  - the LLVM backend,
  - the WebAssembly and JavaScript backends.

Fixes #25120

Fix #25169 using Plan A from the ticket

We now compile certain low-level Cmm functions in the RTS multiple
times, with different levels of vector support. We then dispatch
at runtime in the RTS, based on what instructions are supported.

See Note [realArgRegsCover] in GHC.Cmm.CallConv.

Fix C calls with SIMD vectors

This commit fixes the code generation for C calls, to take into account
the calling convention.

This is particularly tricky on Windows, where all vectors are expected
to be passed by reference. See Note [The Windows X64 C calling convention]
in GHC.CmmToAsm.X86.CodeGen.

X86 CodeGen: refactor getRegister CmmLit

This refactors the code dealing with loading literals into registers,
removing duplication and putting all the code in a single place.
It also changes which XOR instruction is used to place a zero value
into a register, so that we use VPXOR for a 128-bit integer vector
when AVX is supported.

X86 genCCall: promote arg before calling evalArgs

The job of evalArgs is to ensure each argument is put into a temporary
register, so that it can then be loaded directly into one of the
argument registers for the C call, without the generated code clobbering
any other register used for argument passing.

However, if we promote arguments after calling evalArgs, there is the
possibility that the code used for the promotion will clobber a register,
defeating the work of evalArgs.
To avoid this, we first promote arguments, and only then call evalArgs.

X86 genCCall64: simplify loadArg code

This commit simplifies the argument loading code by making the
assumption that it is safe to directly load the argument into register,
because doing so will not clobber any previous assignments.

This assumption is borne from the use of 'evalArgs', which evaluates
any arguments which might necessitate non-trivial code generation into
separate temporary registers.

LLVM: propagate GlobalRegUse information

This commit ensures we keep track of how any particular global register
is being used in the LLVM backend. This informs the LLVM type
annotations, and avoids type mismatches of the following form:

  argument is not of expected type '<2 x double>'
    call ccc <2 x double> (<2 x double>)
      (<4 x i32> arg)

Improve GHC.Tc.Solver.defaultEquality

This MR improves GHC.Tc.Solver.defaultEquality to solve #25251.

The main change is to use checkTyEqRhs to check the equality, so
that we do promotion properly.

But within that we needed a small enhancement to LC_Promote.  See
Note [Defaulting equalites] (DE4) and (DE5)

The tricky case is (alas) hard to trigger, so I have not added a
regression test.
