level imports: Fix infinite loop with cyclic module imports
I didn't anticipate that downsweep would run before we checked for
cyclic imports. Therefore we need to use the reachability function which
handles cyclic graphs.
Fixes #26087

Expose `StackTrace` and `StackSnapshot` from `Backtraces`
Instead of decoding the stack traces when collecting the `Backtraces`,
defer this decoding until actually showing the `Backtraces`.
This allows users to customise how `Backtraces` are displayed by
using a custom implementation of `displayExceptionWithInfo`, overwriting
the default implementation for `Backtraces` (`displayBacktraces`).

Allow users to customise the collection of exception annotations
Add a global `CollectExceptionAnnotationMechanism` which determines how
`ExceptionAnnotation`s are collected upon throwing an `Exception`.
This API is exposed via `ghc-experimental`.
By overriding how we collect `Backtraces`, we can control how the
`Backtraces` are displayed to the user by newtyping `Backtraces` and
giving a different instance for `ExceptionAnnotation`.
A concrete use-case for this feature is allowing us to experiment with
alternative stack decoders, without having to modify `base`, which take
additional information from the stack frames.
This commit does not modify how `Backtraces` are currently
collected or displayed.
