 Improve generated `GHC.Prim` docs

 Summary:
 * Extended `genprimcode` to generate Haddock-compatible deprecations,
   as well as displaying information about which functions are LLVM-only
   and which functions can fail with an unchecked exception.

 * Ported existing deprecations to the new format, and also added a
   deprecation on `par#` (see Trac #15227).

 * Emit an error on fixity/deprecation of builtins, unless we are
   processing the module in which that name is defined (see Trac #15233).
   That means the following is no longer accepted (outside of `GHC.Types`):

 ```
 infixr 7 :
 {-# DEPRECATED (:) "cons is deprecated" #-}
 ```

 * Generate `data (->) a b` with docs and fixity in `GHC.Prim`. This
   means: GHC can now parse `data (->) a b` and `infixr 0 ->` (only in
   `GHC.Prim`) and `genprimcode` can digest `primtype (->) a b` (See Trac
   #4861)

 as well as some misc fixes along the way.
