Don't warn unused-imports with used generated imports

Fixes #21730

* The old notion of "implicit" import has been renamed to "generated". See Note [Generated imports] in GHC.Hs.ImpExp.

* ImportMap now keeps track of generated and user-written imports separately. This avoids the fake SrcSpan we used to give the implicit Prelude import, and the hack that went with it.

* -ddump-minimal-imports now considers generated imports (but still only
  warns on + prints user-written imports)

* bestImport considers generated imports to take priority over user-written imports.

Add primop to annotate the call stack with arbitrary data

We introduce a new primop `annotateStack#` which allows us to push
arbitrary data onto the call-stack.
This allows us to extract the data later when decoding the stack, for
example when an exception is thrown, showing more information to the
user without having to annotate the full call-stack with `HasCallStack`
constraints.

A new stack frame value is introduced `AnnFrame`, which consists of
nothing but a generic payload.

The primop has a small wrapper API that allows users to annotate their
call-stack in programs.
There is a pure API and an IO-based one. The former is a little bit
dubious, as it affects the evaluation of a program, so use with care.
The latter is "safe", as it doesn't change the evaluation of the
program.

The stack annotation mechanism is similarly implemented to the
`ExceptionAnnotation` and `Exception`, there is a typeclass to indicate
something can be pushed onto the call-stack and all values are wrapped
in the existential `SomeStackAnnotation`, which recover the type of the
annotation payload.

There is currently no builtin way to show the stack annotations when
`Backtraces` are displayed (i.e., when showing stack traces to the user),
which we will address in a follow-up MR.

compiler: only use `Name` instead of `Id` in `SptEntry`

As a part of #26298, this patch refactors `SptEntry` to only carry a
`Name` instead of `Id`: we do not care about extra information like
caffyness or type at all in any static pointer related codegen logic.
This is necessary to make `SptEntry` serializable, as a part of the
grand plan of serializable bytecode.

Also refactor fetch_ghc logic in ci.sh, renaming the GHC_VERSION enviorment configuration variable to FETCH_GHC_VERSION,
making it clear that it is intended for use on platforms like Windows and FreeBSD where we don't want to use the GHC
excecutable from the platform environment and instead need to download and install GHC-$FETCH_GHC_VERSION from a release
bindist.

compiler: use zero cost coerce in GHC.CmmToAsm.CFG.loopInfo

This patch refactors GHC.CmmToAsm.CFG.loopInfo to use zero cost coerce
and thus addresses the TODO. For coerce to work, constructors of
Label/LabelMap/LabelSet from GHC.Cmm.Dataflow.Label are exposed,
though I believe it's a worthy tradeoff to avoid unnecessary runtime
cost without using unsafeCoerce, since the latter could be a landmine
for future refactoring.

Start with empty inerts in shortcut solving

When short-cut solving we were starting with an inert set that had
unsolved Wanteds.  This caused an infinite loop (#26314), because a
typechecker plugin kept being given that unsolved Wanted.

Serialize wired-in names as external names when creating HIE files

Note that the domain of de-serialized names stays the same.
Specifically, for known-key names, before `lookupKnownKeyName` was used,
while now this is handled by `lookupOrigNameCache` which captures the
same range provided that the OrigNameCache has been initialized with
`knownKeyNames` (which is the case by default).

(fixes #26238)

compiler: fix closure C type in SPT init code

This patch fixes the closure C type in SPT init code to StgClosure,
instead of the previously incorrect StgPtr. Having an incorrect C type
makes SPT init code not compatible with other foreign stub generation
logic, which may also emit their own extern declarations for the same
closure symbols and thus will clash with the incorrect prototypes in
SPT init code.

Adds the fucnction addDependentDirectory to Q, resolving issue #26148.

This function adds a new directory to the list of things a module depends upon. That means that when the contents of the directory change, the recompilation checker will notice this and the module will be recompiled. Documentation has also been added for addDependentFunction and addDependentDirectory in the user guide.

Generalise thNameToGhcName by adding HasHscEnv

There were multiple single monad-specific `getHscEnv` across codebase.
HasHscEnv is modelled on HasDynFlags.

My first idea was to simply add thNameToGhcNameHsc and
thNameToGhcNameTc, but those would been exactly the same
as thNameToGhcName already.

Also add an usage example to thNameToGhcName and mention that it's
recommended way of looking up names in GHC plugins

        Improve deep subsumption

        This commit improves the DeepSubsumption sub-typing implementation
        in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.tc_sub_type_deep by being less eager to fall back
        to unification.

But alas it still wasn't quite right for view patterns: #26331

This MR does a generalisation to fix it.  A bit of a sledgehammer to crack
a nut, but nice.

* Add a field `ir_inst :: InferInstFlag` to `InferResult`, where
  ```
  data InferInstFlag = IIF_Sigma | IIF_ShallowRho | IIF_DeepRho
  ```

* The flag says exactly how much `fillInferResult` should instantiate
  before filling the hole.

* We can also use this to replace the previous very ad-hoc `tcInferSigma`
  that was used to implement GHCi's `:type` command.

Back-compat for TH SpecialiseP data-con of Pragma

This commit improves the backwards-compatibility story for the
SpecialiseP constructor of the Template Haskell 'Pragma' datatype.

Instead of keeping the constructor but deprecating it, this commit makes
it into a bundled pattern synonym of the Pragma datatype. We no longer
deprecate it; it's useful for handling old-form specialise pragmas.

Move stack decoding logic from ghc-heap to ghc-internal

The stack decoding logic in `ghc-heap` is more sophisticated than the one
currently employed in `CloneStack`. We want to use the stack decoding
implementation from `ghc-heap` in `base`.
We cannot simply depend on `ghc-heap` in `base` due do bootstrapping
issues.
Thus, we move the code that is necessary to implement stack decoding to
`ghc-internal`. This is the right location, as we don't want to add a
new API to `base`.

Moving the stack decoding logic and re-exposing it in ghc-heap is
insufficient, though, as we have a dependency cycle between.

* ghc-heap depends on stage1:ghc-internal
* stage0:ghc depends on stage0:ghc-heap

To fix this, we remove ghc-heap from the set of `stage0` dependencies.

This is not entirely straight-forward, as a couple of boot dependencies,
such as `ghci` depend on `ghc-heap`.
Luckily, the boot compiler of GHC is now >=9.10, so we can migrate `ghci`
to use `ghc-internal` instead of `ghc-heap`, which already exports the
relevant modules.

However, we cannot 100% remove ghc's dependency on `ghc-heap`, since
when we compile `stage0:ghc`, `stage1:ghc-internal` is not yet
available.
Thus, when we compile with the boot-compiler, we still depend on an
older version of `ghc-heap`, and only use the modules from `ghc-internal`,
if the `ghc-internal` version is recent enough.

    size_hello_artifact
    size_hello_artifact_gzip
    size_hello_unicode
    size_hello_unicode_gzip
-------------------------

These metric increases are unfortunate, they are most likely caused by
the larger (literally in terms of lines of code) stack decoder implementation
that are now linked into hello-word binaries.

On linux, it is almost a 10% increase, which is considerable.

Fix a long standing bug in the coercion optimiser

We were mis-optimising ForAllCo, leading to #26345

Part of the poblem was the tricky tower of abstractions leading to
the dreadful
   GHC.Core.TyCo.Subst.substForAllCoTyVarBndrUsing
This function was serving two masters: regular substitution, but also
coercion optimsation.  So tricky was it that it did so wrong.

In this MR I locate all the fancy footwork for coercion optimisation
in GHC.Core.Coercion.Opt, where it belongs.   That leaves substitution
free to be much simpler.

- when we try to reload its .hi file

Expose Stack Annotation frames in IPE backtraces by default

When decoding the Haskell-native call stack and displaying the IPE information
for the stack frames, we print the `StackAnnotation` of the `AnnFrame` by default.

This means, when an exception is thrown, any intermediate stack annotations will
be displayed in the `IPE Backtrace`.

Example backtrace:
```
Exception: ghc-internal:GHC.Internal.Exception.ErrorCall:

Oh no!

IPE backtrace:

Only use active rules when simplifying rule RHSs

When we are simplifying the RHS of a rule, we make sure to only apply
rewrites from rules that are active throughout the original rule's
range of active phases.

For example, if a rule is always active, we only fire rules that are
themselves always active when simplifying the RHS. Ditto for inline
activations.

This is achieved by setting the simplifier phase to a range of phases,
using the new SimplPhaseRange constructor. Then:

  1. When simplifying the RHS of a rule, or of a stable unfolding,
     we set the simplifier phase to a range of phases, computed from
     the activation of the RULE/unfolding activation, using the
     function 'phaseFromActivation'.

     The details are explained in Note [What is active in the RHS of a RULE?]
     in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Utils.

  2. The activation check for other rules and inlinings is then:
     does the activation of the other rule/inlining cover the whole
     phase range set in sm_phase? This continues to use the 'isActive'
     function, which now accounts for phase ranges.

On the way, this commit also moves the exact-print SourceText annotation
from the Activation datatype to the ActivationAnn type. This keeps the
main Activation datatype free of any extra cruft.

Fixes #26323
