Migrate `ghc-pkg` to use `OsPath` and `file-io`
`ghc-pkg` should use UNC paths as much as possible to avoid MAX_PATH
issues on windows.
`file-io` uses UNC Paths by default on windows, ensuring we use the
correct APIs and that we finally are no longer plagued by MAX_PATH
issues in CI and private machines.
On top of it, the higher correctness of `OsPath` is appreciated in this
small codebase. Also, we improve memory usage very slightly, due to the
more efficient memory representation of `OsPath` over `FilePath`
Adds `ghc-pkg` regression test for MAX_PATH on windows
Make sure `ghc-pkg` behaves as expected when long paths (> 255) are
involved on windows.
Let's generate a testcase where we can actually observe that `ghc-pkg`
behaves as epxected.
See the documentation for windows on Maximum Path Length Limitation:
* `https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation`
Adds changelog entry for long path support in ghc-pkg.

Kill off the substitution in Lint
Now that we have invariant (NoTypeShadowing) we no longer
need Lint to carry an ambient substitution. This makes it
simpler and faster. A really worthwhile refactor.
There are some knock-on effects
* Linting join points after worker/wrapper. See
Note [Join points and beta redexes]
* Running a type substitution after the desugarer.
See Note [Substituting type-lets] in
the new module GHC.Core.SubstTypeLets
Implements #27078
Most perf tests don't use Lint so we won't see a perf incresae.
But T1969, which uses -O0 and Lint, gets 1.3% worse because it has
to run the SubstTypeLets pass which is a somewhat expensive no-op
Overall though compile-time allocations are down 0.1%.
Metric Increase:

testsuite: inline elemCoreTest
Some weird (probably python scoping) rule caused elemCoreTest, a regex
being out of scope on ubuntu, presumably because of a newer python version.
This patch just inlines the regex, which fixes the issue.
Fixes #27193

Mark some SIMD tests as broken on i386 optllvm
As seen in #25498, several SIMD tests are broken on i386 in the optllvm
way. This commit marks them as "expect_broken".

Move most of the `System.IO` implementation into `base`
This involves a rewrite of the `combine` helper function to avoid the
use of `last`, which would now be flagged as an error.
