configure: Allow override of CrossCompiling
As noted in #26236, the current inference logic is a bit simplistic. In
particular, there are many cases (e.g. building for a new libc) where
the target and host triples may differ yet we are still able to run the
produced artifacts as native code.
Closes #26236.

refactor: Modify Data.List.sortOn to use (>) instead of compare. (#26184)
This lets a more efficient (>) operation be used if one exists.
This is technically a breaking change for malformed Ord instances, where
x > y is not equivalent to compare x y == GT.

compiler: Export a version of `newNameCache` that is not prone to footguns.
`newNameCache` must be initialized with both a non-"reserved" unique tag, as well
as a list of known key names. Failing to do so results in hard to debug unique conflicts.
It is difficult for API users to tell which unique tags are safe to use. So instead of leaving
this up to the user to decide, we now export a version of `newNameCache` which uses a guaranteed
non-reserved unique tag. In fact, this is now the way the unique tag is initialized for all invocations
of the compiler.
The original version of `newNameCache` is now exported as `newNameCache'` for advanced users.
We also deprecate `initNameCache` as it is also prone to footguns and is completely subsumed in
functionality by `newNameCache` and `newNameCache'`.
Fixes #26135 and #26055

hadrian: bump Stackage snapshot to LTS 24.2 / GHC 9.10.2
In line with #25693 we should use GHC 9.10 as a boot compiler,
while Hadrian stack.yaml was stuck on GHC 9.6.

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.
-------------------------
Metric Increase:
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.
