GHCi tags generation: the end

[Hécate]

Hello everyone,

As the three-releases deprecation cycle has come to an end, GHC 9.8 
marks the end of the integrated tags generation feature that used to 
live in GHCi. Started in 2020, the deprecation proposal showed that many 
people didn't know about its existence, and favoured external tools.

It is also a burden that is removed from the shoulders of GHC 
developers, as it used to create friction with other features like 
UnboxedSums.

You can find the proposal here: 
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/19884
and the migration wiki page here: 
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary/GHCi/Tags

Thanks to everyone who was involved in this, especially Emily Martins.

Cheers,
Hécate
