 Rip out object splitting

 The splitter is an evil Perl script that processes assembler code.
 Its job can be done better by the linker's --gc-sections flag. GHC
 passes this flag to the linker whenever -split-sections is passed on
 the command line.

 This is based on @DemiMarie's D2768.

 Fixes Trac #11315
 Fixes Trac #9832
 Fixes Trac #8964
 Fixes Trac #8685
 Fixes Trac #8629
