debugger: Uniquely identify breakpoints by internal id
Since b85b11994e0130ff2401dd4bbdf52330e0bcf776 (support inlining
breakpoints), a breakpoint has been identified at runtime by *two* pairs
of <module,index>.
- The first, aka a 'BreakpointId', uniquely identifies a breakpoint in
the source of a module by using the Tick index. A Tick index can index
into ModBreaks.modBreaks_xxx to fetch source-level information about
where that tick originated.
- When a user specifies e.g. a line breakpoint using :break, we'll reverse
engineer what a Tick index for that line
- We update the `BreakArray` of that module (got from the
LoaderState) at that tick index to `breakOn`.
- A BCO we can stop at is headed by a BRK_FUN instruction. This
instruction stores in an operand the `tick index` it is associated
to. We look it up in the associated `BreakArray` (also an operand)
and check wheter it was set to `breakOn`.
- The second, aka the `ibi_info_mod` + `ibi_info_ix` of the
`InternalBreakpointId`, uniquely index into the `imodBreaks_breakInfo`
-- the information we gathered during code generation about the
existing breakpoint *ocurrences*.
- Note that with optimisation there may be many occurrences of the
same source-tick-breakpoint across different modules. The
`ibi_info_ix` is unique per occurrence, but the `bi_tick_ix` may be
shared. See Note [Breakpoint identifiers] about this.
- Note that besides the tick ids, info ids are also stored in
`BRK_FUN` so the break handler can refer to the associated
`CgBreakInfo`.
In light of that, the driving changes come from the desire to have the
info_id uniquely identify the breakpoint at runtime, and the source tick
id being derived from it:
- An InternalBreakpointId should uniquely identify a breakpoint just
from the code-generation identifiers of `ibi_info_ix` and `ibi_info_mod`.
So we drop `ibi_tick_mod` and `ibi_tick_ix`.
- A BRK_FUN instruction need only record the "internal breakpoint id",
not the tick-level id.
So we drop the tick mod and tick index operands.
- A BreakArray should be indexed by InternalBreakpointId rather than
BreakpointId
That means we need to do some more work when setting a breakpoint.
Specifically, we need to figure out the internal ids (occurrences of a
breakpoint) from the source-level BreakpointId we want to set the
breakpoint at (recall :break refers to breaks at the source level).
Besides this change being an improvement to the handling of breakpoints
(it's clearer to have a single unique identifier than two competing
ones), it unlocks the possibility of generating "internal" breakpoints
during Cg (needed for #26042).
It should also be easier to introduce multi-threaded-aware `BreakArrays`
following this change (needed for #26064).

We need to use `BCO_NEXT` to move bciPtr to ix=1, because ix=0 points to

debugger: Allow BRK_FUNs to head case continuation BCOs
When we start executing a BCO, we may want to yield to the scheduler:
this may be triggered by a heap/stack check, context switch, or a
breakpoint. To yield, we need to put the stack in a state such that
when execution is resumed we are back to where we yielded from.
Previously, a BKR_FUN could only head a function BCO because we only
knew how to construct a valid stack for yielding from one -- simply add
`apply_interp_info` + the BCO to resume executing. This is valid because
the stack at the start of run_BCO is headed by that BCO's arguments.
However, in case continuation BCOs (as per Note [Case continuation BCOs]),
we couldn't easily reconstruct a valid stack that could be resumed
because we dropped too soon the stack frames regarding the value
returned (stg_ret) and received (stg_ctoi) by that continuation.
This is especially tricky because of the variable type and size return
frames (e.g. pointer ret_p/ctoi_R1p vs a tuple ret_t/ctoi_t2).
The trick to being able to yield from a BRK_FUN at the start of a case
cont BCO is to stop removing the ret frame headers eagerly and instead
keep them until the BCO starts executing. The new layout at the start of
a case cont. BCO is described by the new Note [Stack layout when entering run_BCO].
Now, we keep the ret_* and ctoi_* frames when entering run_BCO.
A BRK_FUN is then executed if found, and the stack is yielded as-is with
the preserved ret and ctoi frames.
Then, a case cont BCO's instructions always SLIDE off the headers of the
ret and ctoi frames, in StgToByteCode.doCase, turning a stack like
| .... |
+---------------+
| fv2 |
+---------------+
| fv1 |
+---------------+
| BCO |
+---------------+
| stg_ctoi_ret_ |
+---------------+
| retval |
+---------------+
| stg_ret_..... |
+---------------+
into
| .... |
+---------------+
| fv2 |
+---------------+
| fv1 |
+---------------+
| retval |
+---------------+
for the remainder of the BCO.
Moreover, this more uniform approach of keeping the ret and ctoi frames
means we need less ad-hoc logic concerning the variable size of
ret_tuple vs ret_p/np frames in the code generator and interpreter:
Always keep the return to cont. stack intact at the start of run_BCO,
and the statically generated instructions will take care of adjusting
it.
Unlocks BRK_FUNs at the start of case cont. BCOs which will enable a
better user-facing step-out (#26042) which is free of the bugs the
current BRK_ALTS implementation suffers from (namely, using BRK_FUN
rather than BRK_ALTS in a case cont. means we'll never accidentally end
up in a breakpoint "deeper" than the continuation, because we stop at
the case cont itself rather than on the first breakpoint we evaluate
after it).

enough e.g. for do blocks because the cases continuations currently end
up not surrounded by a tick.

bytecode: Don't PUSH_L 0; SLIDE 1 1
While looking through bytecode I noticed a quite common unfortunate
pattern:
...
PUSH_L 0
SLIDE 1 1
We do this often by generically constructing a tail call from a function
atom that may be somewhere arbitrary on the stack.
However, for the special case that the function can be found directly on
top of the stack, as part of the arguments, it's plain redundant to push
then slide it.
In this commit we add a small optimisation to the generation of
tailcalls in bytecode. Simply: lookahead for the function in the stack.
If it is the first thing on the stack and it is part of the arguments
which would be dropped as we entered the tail call, then don't push then
slide it.
In a simple example (T26042b), this already produced a drastic
improvement in generated code (left is old, right is with this patch):
