Add support for building bytecode libraries
A bytecode library is a collection of bytecode files (.gbc) and a
library which combines together additional object files.
A bytecode library is created by invoking GHC with the `-bytecodelib`
flag.
A library can be created from in-memory `ModuleByteCode` linkables or
by passing `.gbc` files as arguments on the command line.

Load bytecode libraries to satisfy package dependencies
This commit allows you to use a bytecode library to satisfy a package
dependency when using the interpreter.
If a user enables `-fprefer-byte-code`, then if a package provides a
bytecode library, that will be loaded and used to satisfy the
dependency.
The main change is to separate the relevant parts of the `LoaderState`
into external and home package byte code. Bytecode is loaded into either
the home package or external part (similar to HPT/EPS split), HPT
bytecode can be unloaded. External bytecode is never unloaded.
The unload function has also only been called with an empty list of
"stable linkables" for a long time. It has been modified to directly
implement a complete unloading of the home package bytecode linkables.
At the moment, the bytecode libraries are found in the "library-dirs"
field from the package description. In the future when `Cabal`
implements support for "bytecode-library-dirs" field, we can read the
bytecode libraries from there. No changes to the Cabal submodule are
necessary at the moment.
Four new tests are added in testsuite/tests/cabal, which generate fake
package descriptions and test loading the libraries into GHCi.

ExplicitLevelImports: improve documentation of the code
- more explicit names for variable names like `flg` or `topLevel`
- don't pass the same value twice to functions
- some explanations of interesting but undocumented code paths
- adjust comment to not mention non-existent error message

driver: don't expect nodes to exist when checking paths between them
In `mgQueryZero`, previously node lookups were expected to never fail,
i.e. it was expected that when calculating the path between two nodes in
a zero level import graph, both nodes would always exist. This is not
the case, e.g. in some situations involving exact names (see the
test-case). The fix is to first check whether the node is present in the
graph at all, instead of panicking, just to report that there is no
path.
Closes #26568

NCG/LA64: Simplify genCCall into two parts
genCCall is too long, so it's been simplified into two parts:
genPrim and genLibCCall.

hadrian: Use a response file to invoke GHC for dep gathering.
In some cases we construct an argument list too long for GHC to
handle directly on windows. This happens when we generate
the dependency file because the command line will contain
references to a large number of .hs files.
To avoid this we now invoke GHC using a response file when
generating dependencies to sidestep length limitations.
Note that we only pass the actual file names in the dependency
file. Why? Because this side-steps #26560

rts: Fix object file format detection in loadArchive
Commit 76d1041dfa4b96108cfdd22b07f2b3feb424dcbe seems to
have introduced this bug, ultimately leading to failure of
test T11788. I can only theorize that this test isn't run
in upstream's CI, because they don't build a static GHC.
The culprit is that we go through the thin archive, trying
to follow the members on the filesystem, but don't
re-identify the new object format of the member. This pins
`object_fmt` to `NotObject` from the thin archive.
Thanks to @angerman for spotting this.

ci: Try using multi repl in ghc-in-ghci test
This should be quite a bit faster than the ./hadrian/ghci command as it
doesn't properly build all the dependencies.

Stack.Decode: Don't error on bitmap size 0
A RET_BCO may have a bitmap with no payload.
In that case, the bitmap = 0.
One can observe this by using -ddump-bcos and interpreting
```
main = pure ()
```
Observe, for instance, that the BCO for this main function has size 0:
```
ProtoBCO Main.main#0:
\u []
break<main:Main,0>() GHC.Internal.Base.pure
GHC.Internal.Base.$fApplicativeIO GHC.Internal.Tuple.()
bitmap: 0 []
BRK_FUN <breakarray> main:Main 0 <cc>
PACK () 0
PUSH_G GHC.Internal.Base.$fApplicativeIO
PUSH_APPLY_PP
PUSH_G GHC.Internal.Base.pure
ENTER
```
Perhaps we never tried to decode a stack in which a BCO like this was
present. However, for the debugger, we want to decode stacks of threads
stopped at breakpoints, and these kind of BCOs do get on a stack under
e.g. `stg_apply_interp_info` frames.
See the accompanying test in the next commit for an example to trigger
the bug this commit fixes.

hadrian: add with_profiled_libs flavour transformer
This patch adds a `with_profiled_libs` flavour transformer to hadrian
which is the exact opposite of `no_profiled_libs`. It adds profiling
ways to stage1+ rts/library ways, and doesn't alter other flavour
settings. It is useful when needing to test profiling logic locally
with a quick flavour.

This commit fixes the profiled_ghc flavour transformer to include
profiled dynamic libraries as well, since they're supported by GHC
