 Implement new -XTemplateHaskellQuotes pragma

 Since f16ddcee0c64a92ab911a7841a8cf64e3ac671fd / D876, `ghc-stage1`
 supports a subset of `-XTemplateHaskell`, but since we need Cabal to be
 able detect (so `.cabal` files can be specified accordingly, see also
 GHC #11102 which omits `TemplateHaskell` from `--supported-extensions`)
 whether GHC provides full or only partial `-XTemplateHaskell` support,
 the proper way to accomplish this is to split off the
 quotation/non-splicing `TemplateHaskell` feature-subset into a new
 language pragma `TemplateHaskellQuotes`.

 Moreover, `-XTemplateHaskellQuotes` is considered safe under SafeHaskell

 This addresses #11121
