Allow the 'data' keyword in import/export lists (#25899)
This patch introduces the 'data' namespace specifier in import and
export lists. The intended use is to import data constructors without
their parent type constructors, e.g.
import Data.Proxy as D (data Proxy)
type DP = D.Proxy -- promoted data constructor
Additionally, it is possible to use 'data' to explicitly qualify any
data constructors or terms, incl. operators and field selectors
import Prelude (Semigroup(data (<>)))
import Data.Function (data (&))
import Data.Monoid (data Dual, data getDual)
x = Dual "Hello" <> Dual "World" & getDual
The implementation mostly builds on top of the existing logic for the
'type' and 'pattern' namespace specifiers, plus there are a few tweaks
to how we generate suggestions in error messages.

compiler: Use field selectors when creating BCOs
This makes it easier to grep for these fields.

compiler: Clarify BCO size
Previously the semantics and size of StgBCO was a bit unclear.
Specifically, the `size` field was documented to contain the size of the
bitmap whereas it was actually the size of the closure *and* bitmap.
Additionally, it was not as clear as it could be that the bitmap was a
full StgLargeBitmap with its own `size` field.

Interpreter: Add limited support for direct primop evaluation.
This commit adds support for a number of primops directly
to the interpreter. This avoids the indirection of going
through the primop wrapper for those primops speeding interpretation
of optimized code up massively.
Code involving IntSet runs about 25% faster with optimized core and these
changes. For core without breakpoints it's even more pronouced and I
saw reductions in runtime by up to 50%.
Running GHC itself in the interpreter was sped up by ~15% through this
change.
Additionally this comment does a few other related changes:
testsuite:
* Run foundation test in ghci and ghci-opt ways to test these
primops.
* Vastly expand the foundation test to cover all basic primops
by comparing result with the result of calling the wrapper.
Interpreter:
* When pushing arguments for interpreted primops extend each argument to
at least word with when pushing. This avoids some issues with big
endian. We can revisit this if it causes performance issues.
* Restructure the stack chunk check logic. There are now macros for
read accesses which might cross stack chunk boundries and macros which
omit the checks which are used when we statically know we access an
address in the current stack chunk.
