 Make Data.List.foldr1 inline

 Previously, foldr1 would be defiend recursively and thus not inline.
 This is bad, for example, when maximumBy has a strict comparison
 function: Before the BBP, it was implemented via foldl1, which inlined
 and yielded good code. With BBP, it goes via foldr1, so we better inline
 this as well. Fixes #10830.
