Add optional config setting for LibDir (#19174)
Previously, the `libDir` was derived from `topDir`. This won't work for
inplace stage2 cross-compilers where binaries and libraries are in
different stage dirs (`_build/stage1/` for executables and
`_build/stage2` for libraries).
`LibDir` is set in the inplace `settings` files. For bindists, we
generate a new `settings` file with no `LibDir` entry. GHC then defaults
to use `topDir` as `libDir` again. This keeps the bindist relocatable.
If `LibDir` is a relative path, it is interpreted relatively to
`topDir`.
The global package db is part of the `lib/` folder. If we want to point
for inplace cross-compilers to the succeeding stage's folder, this is
done by setting `LibDir`. Thus, the global package db must be found
relative to `libDir`` (which may default to `topDir` or be set by
`LibDir`).
The complexity of settings becomes scary. So, add a test to ensure
`LibDir` works as expected.

foundation test: skip signed minBound `quot` (-1) (#27222)
`minBound `quot` (-1)` for fixed-width signed integers is platform
dependent: the mathematical result -minBound is not representable in
the type. On x86, IDIV traps; LLVM's sdiv is undefined behaviour in
this case; on AArch64/RISC-V, SDIV wraps to minBound.

Prevent dictionary-passing in checkTyEqRhs
...by pre-specializing it to TcM.
Previously, wherever checkTyEqRhs was used in other modules, the
Core showed dictionary passing ($fMonadIOEnv). The added SPECIALIZE
pragma prevents this.

Hadrian: create a ghc-internal .def file per ghc-internal dll
The .def file generated from rts/win32/libHSghc-internal.def.in contains
the name of the ghc-internal dll. The correct dll name differs based
on if the dll is inplace/final and if using the Dynamic way. Previously,
this was not accounted for and inconsistent dlls names where used. That
led to failure when loading dlls at runtime in experiments with windows
dynamic linking.

ghc-bignum: copy backend interface haddocks to Native backend (#27305)
The haddock comments documenting the BigNat backend interface (function
contracts, expected MutableWordArray# sizes, return-value semantics, etc.)
were attached to the FFI backend module. Copy them to the Native backend
so they remain in tree once the FFI backend is removed.

ghc-bignum: remove FFI backend (#27305)
The FFI backend of ghc-bignum (now part of ghc-internal) had no known
users and is easy to recreate by relinking ghc-internal with a custom
backend. Remove the backend module, the bignum-ffi cabal flag, and the
ffi option from Hadrian's --bignum selector. The backend interface
documentation now lives in the Native backend module.

ghc-bignum: remove Check backend (#27305)
The Check backend of ghc-bignum (now part of ghc-internal) compared the
selected backend's output against the Native backend for validation.
It had no known users. Remove the backend module, the bignum-check
cabal flag, the bignumCheck Hadrian flavour field, and the check-
prefix in Hadrian's --bignum selector.
