Make injecting implicit bindings into its own pass
Previously we were injecting "impliicit bindings" (data constructor
worker and wrappers etc)
- both at the end of CoreTidy,
- and at the start of CorePrep
This is unpleasant and confusing. This patch puts it it its own pass,
addImplicitBinds, which runs between the two.
The function `GHC.CoreToStg.AddImplicitBinds.addImplicitBinds` now takes /all/
TyCons, not just the ones for algebraic data types. That change ripples
through to
- corePrepPgm
- doCodeGen
- byteCodeGen
All take [TyCon] which includes all TyCons

Implement unary classes
The big change is described exhaustively in
Note [Unary class magic] in GHC.Core.TyCon
Other changes
* We never unbox class dictionaries in worker/wrapper. This has been true for some
time now, but the logic is now centralised in functions in
GHC.Core.Opt.WorkWrap.Utils, namely `canUnboxTyCon`, and `canUnboxArg`
See Note [Do not unbox class dictionaries] in GHC.Core.Opt.WorkWrap.Utils.
* Refactored the `notWorthFloating` logic in GHc.Core.Opt.SetLevels.
I can't remember if I actually changed any behaviour here, but if so it's
only in a corner cases.
* Fixed a bug in `GHC.Core.TyCon.isEnumerationTyCon`, which was wrongly returning
True for (##).
* Remove redundant Role argument to `liftCoSubstWithEx`. It was always
Representational.
* I refactored evidence generation in the constraint solver:
* Made GHC.Tc.Types.Evidence contain better abstactions for evidence
generation.
* I deleted the file `GHC.Tc.Types.EvTerm` and merged its (small) contents
elsewhere. It wasn't paying its way.
* Made evidence for implicit parameters go via a proper abstraction.
* Fix inlineBoringOk; see (IB6) in Note [inlineBoringOk]
This fixes a slowdown in `countdownEffectfulDynLocal`
in the `effectful` library.
Smaller things
* Rename `isDataTyCon` to `isBoxedDataTyCon`.
* GHC.Core.Corecion.liftCoSubstWithEx was only called with Representational role,
so I baked that into the function and removed the argument.
* Get rid of `GHC.Core.TyCon.tyConSingleAlgDataCon_maybe` in favour of calling
`not isNewTyCon` at the call sites; more explicit.
* Refatored `GHC.Core.TyCon.isInjectiveTyCon`; but I don't think I changed its
behaviour
* Moved `decomposeIPPred` to GHC.Core.Predicate
Compile time performance changes:
geo. mean +0.1%
minimum -6.8%
maximum +14.4%
The +14% one is in T21839c, where it seems that a bit more inlining
is taking place. That seems acceptable; and the average change is small

Extend record-selector usage ticking to all binds using a record field
This extends the previous handling of ticking for RecordWildCards and
NamedFieldPuns to all var bindings that involve record selectors.
Note that certain patterns such as `Foo{foo = 42}` will currently not tick the
`foo` selector, as ticking is triggered by `HsVar`s.
Closes #26191.

rts: Clarify rationale for undefined atomic wrappers
Since c06e3f46d24ef69f3a3d794f5f604cb8c2a40cbc the RTS has declared
various atomic operation wrappers defined by ghc-internal as undefined.
While the rationale for this isn't clear from the commit message, I
believe that this is necessary due to the unregisterised backend.
Specifically, the code generator will reference these symbols when
compiling RTS Cmm sources.

Make unexpected LLVM versions a warning rather than an error.
Typically a newer LLVM version *will* work so erroring out if
a user uses a newer LLVM version is too aggressive.

Store `StackTrace` and `StackSnapshot` in `Backtraces`
Instead of decoding the stack traces when collecting the `Backtraces`,
defer this decoding until actually showing the `Backtraces`.
This allows users to customise how `Backtraces` are displayed by
using a custom implementation of `displayExceptionWithInfo`, overwriting
the default implementation for `Backtraces` (`displayBacktraces`).

Allow users to customise the collection of exception annotations
Add a global `CollectExceptionAnnotationMechanism` which determines how
`ExceptionAnnotation`s are collected upon throwing an `Exception`.
This API is exposed via `ghc-experimental`.
By overriding how we collect `Backtraces`, we can control how the
`Backtraces` are displayed to the user by newtyping `Backtraces` and
giving a different instance for `ExceptionAnnotation`.
A concrete use-case for this feature is allowing us to experiment with
alternative stack decoders, without having to modify `base`, which take
additional information from the stack frames.
This commit does not modify how `Backtraces` are currently
collected or displayed.

template-haskell: move some identifiers from ghc-internal to template-haskell
These identifiers are not used internally by the compiler. Therefore we
have no reason for them to be in ghc-internal.
By moving them to template-haskell, we benefit from it being easier to
change them and we avoid having to build them in stage0.

Refactoring: Don't misuse `MCDiagnostic` for lint messages
`MCDiagnostic` is meant to be used for compiler diagnostics.
Any code that creates `MCDiagnostic` directly, without going through
`GHC.Driver.Errors.printMessage`, side steps `-fdiagnostics-as-json`
(see e.g. !14475, !14492 !14548).
To avoid this in the future I want to control more narrowly who creates
`MCDiagnostic` (see #24113).
Some parts of the compiler use `MCDiagnostic` purely for formatting
purposes, without creating any real compiler diagnostics. This change
introduces a helper function, `formatDiagnostic`, that can be used in
such cases instead of constructing `MCDiagnostic`.

rts: ensure MessageBlackHole.link is always a valid closure
We turn a MessageBlackHole into an StgInd in wakeBlockingQueue().
Therefore it's important that the link field, which becomes the
indirection field, always points to a valid closure.
It's unclear whether it's currently possible for the previous behaviour
to lead to a crash, but it's good to be consistent about this invariant nonetheless.

rts: spin if we see a WHITEHOLE in messageBlackHole
When a BLACKHOLE gets cancelled in raiseAsync, we indirect to a THUNK.
GC can then shortcut this, replacing our BLACKHOLE with a fresh THUNK.
This THUNK is not guaranteed to have a valid indirectee field.
If at the same time, a message intended for the previous BLACKHOLE is
processed and concurrently we BLACKHOLE the THUNK, thus temporarily
turning it into a WHITEHOLE, we can get a segfault, since we look at the
undefined indirectee field of the THUNK
The fix is simple: spin if we see a WHITEHOLE, and it will soon be
replaced with a valid BLACKHOLE.
