ghc-toolchain: Use ByteOrder rather than new Endianness
Don't introduce a duplicate datatype when the previous one is equivalent
and already used elsewhere. This avoids unnecessary translation between
the two.

Read Toolchain.Target files rather than 'settings'
This commit makes GHC read `lib/targets/default.target`, a file with a
serialized value of `ghc-toolchain`'s `GHC.Toolchain.Target`.
Moreover, it removes all the now-redundant entries from `lib/settings`
that are configured as part of a `Target` but were being written into
`settings`.
This makes it easier to support multiple targets from the same compiler
(aka runtime retargetability). `ghc-toolchain` can be re-run many times
standalone to produce a `Target` description for different targets, and,
in the future, GHC will be able to pick at runtime amongst different
`Target` files.
This commit only makes it read the default `Target` configured in-tree
or configured when installing the bindist.
The remaining bits of `settings` need to be moved to `Target` in follow
up commits, but ultimately they all should be moved since they are
per-target relevant.
Fixes #24212
On Windows, the constant overhead of parsing a slightly more complex
data structure causes some small-allocation tests to wiggle around 1 to
2 extra MB (1-2% in these cases).

ghc-toolchain: Move UseLibdw to per-Target file
To support DWARF unwinding, the RTS must be built with the -f+libdw flag
and with the -DUSE_LIBDW macro definition. These flags are passed on
build by Hadrian when --enable-dwarf-unwinding is specified at configure
time.
Whether the RTS was built with support for DWARF is a per-target
property, and as such, it was moved to the per-target
GHC.Toolchain.Target.Target file.
Additionally, we keep in the target file the include and library paths
for finding libdw, since libdw should be checked at configure time (be
it by configure, or ghc-toolchain, that libdw is properly available).
Preserving the user-given include paths for libdw facilitates in the
future building the RTS on demand for a given target (if we didn't keep
that user input, we couldn't)

ghc-toolchain: Make "Support SMP" a query on a Toolchain.Target
"Support SMP" is merely a function of target, so we can represent it as
such in `ghc-toolchain`.
Hadrian queries the Target using this predicate to determine how to
build GHC, and GHC queries the Target similarly to report under --info
whether it "Support SMP"

ghc-toolchain: Make "tgt rts linker only supports shared libs" function on Target
Just like with "Support SMP", "target RTS linker only supports shared
libraries" is a predicate on a `Target` so we can just compute it when
necessary from the given `Target`.
