driver: Link object files in a deterministic order
The object files handed to the linker come from the HomePackageTable,
which is ordered by the order in which modules finished compiling. With
-j1 that is the build plan order, with -jN it is whatever the scheduler
produced, so the same sources can link to different (but equivalent)
binaries.
The order reaches the output: .text and .rodata contributions are
concatenated in link order, so e.g. building the hdav executable of the
DAV package twice, once with -j1 and once with -j4, yields two binaries
that differ in ~100kB of section contents.
Sort the home modules by module before collecting their linkables,
guarded under `Opt_ObjectDeterminism` .

Reduce SpecConstr threshold in GHC.Tc.Solver.Rewrite
As remarked in #27628, this module currently sits on a knife's edge: if
the body of 'simplifyArgsWorker' is made even a tiny bit smaller, then
SpecConstr suddenly kicks in and causes disastrous reboxing of the
LiftingContext argument.
To make this less likely to happen, this commit lowers the SpecConstr
threshold.

Allow rewriting in RuntimeReps for newtype ConPats
This commit implements PHASE 2 of the FixedRuntimeRep plan described in
Note [The Concrete mechanism] in GHC.Tc.Utils.Concrete for newtype
constructor patterns.
In short, GHC now accepts programs of the form
f (MkN x) = ...
in which the argument 'x' of the newtype constructor pattern 'MkN x'
has a representation that is not syntactically concrete, e.g. it can be
'Id IntRep' reducing to 'IntRep'. See T20363{,b,c} for examples.
There are two main parts to the implementation:
1. Typechecking, in GHC.Tc.Gen.Pat.tcDataConPat.
See Note [Typechecking newtype constructor patterns] in GHC.Tc.Gen.Pat.
2. Desugaring. We restructure the code for desugaring pattern matches
by allowing the scrutinised match variable to be casted. This allows
us to accumulate coercions and avoids creating binders at intermediate
types tha don't have a fixed RuntimeRep.
See the revamped Note [Match Ids] in GHC.HsToCore.Monad.
Fixes #20363

Improve the documentation of `--show-iface`
This change in particular gets rid of the claim that `--show-iface`
writes *the* contents of the interface file in question. It doesn’t do
that; it only writes those parts that are likely of interest to a human
reader.

RTS: fix LDV profiler's slop skipping (#27585)
processHeapForDead was the one heap scanner not updated for the slop
marker encoding introduced in #19048. It still assumed slop is zeroed:
while (p < bd->free && !*p) p++; // skip slop
so it stopped at the (StgWord)(-1) sentinel and passed it to
processHeapClosureForDead. IS_FORWARDING_PTR(-1) holds, hence a garbage
size was read out of LDVW and the scan ran off the block, tripping
ASSERT(p == bd->free) on a debug RTS and silently corrupting the census
otherwise.
The loop was hand-copied in four places, so factor it out into skipSlop
in ClosureMacros.h and use it in ProfHeap.c, Sanity.c, Printer.c and
LdvProfile.c.

hadrian: Fix links to remaining doc sites to not use the package hash for haddock links
In 07267f79d91169f474cacc8bcd38d76a6e97887d we changed hadrian to not include the package hash in the haddock
directory. This patch takes care of a few remaining links that were missed in that patch
