Simplify mkTick
This commit simplifies 'GHC.Core.Utils.mkTick', removing the
accumulating parameter 'rest' which was suspiciously treating a bunch of
different ticks as a group, and moving the group as a whole around the
AST, ignoring that the ticks in the group might have different placement
properties.
The most important change is that we revert the logic (added in 85b0aae2)
that allowed ticks to be placed around coercions, which caused serious
issues (e.g. #27121). It was just a mistake, as it doesn't make sense
to put a tick around a coercion.
Also adds Note [Pushing SCCs inwards] which clarifies the logic for
pushing SCCs into lambdas, constructor applications, and dropping SCCs
around non-function variables (in particular the treatment of splittable
ticks).
A few other changes are also implemented:
- simplify 'can_split' predicate (no functional change)
- combine profiling ticks into one when possible
Fixes #26878, #26941 and #27121

Deal with 'noSpec' in 'coreExprToPmLit'
This commit makes two separate changes relating to
'GHC.HsToCore.Pmc.Solver.Types.coreExprAsPmLit':
1. Commit 7124e4ad mistakenly marked deferred errors as non-canonical,
which led to the introduction of 'nospec' wrappers in the
generated Core. This reverts that accident by declaring deferred
errors as being canonical, avoiding spurious 'nospec' wrapping.
2. Look through magic identity-like Ids such as 'nospec', 'inline' and
'lazy' in 'coreExprAsPmLit', just like Core Prep does.
There might genuinely be incoherent evidence, but that shouldn't
obstruct the pattern match checker. See test T27124a.

Migrate `ghc-pkg` to use `OsPath` and `file-io`
`ghc-pkg` should use UNC paths as much as possible to avoid MAX_PATH
issues on windows.
`file-io` uses UNC Paths by default on windows, ensuring we use the
correct APIs and that we finally are no longer plagued by MAX_PATH
issues in CI and private machines.
On top of it, the higher correctness of `OsPath` is appreciated in this
small codebase. Also, we improve memory usage very slightly, due to the
more efficient memory representation of `OsPath` over `FilePath`
Adds `ghc-pkg` regression test for MAX_PATH on windows
Make sure `ghc-pkg` behaves as expected when long paths (> 255) are
involved on windows.
Let's generate a testcase where we can actually observe that `ghc-pkg`
behaves as epxected.
See the documentation for windows on Maximum Path Length Limitation:
* `https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation`
Adds changelog entry for long path support in ghc-pkg.

Kill off the substitution in Lint
Now that we have invariant (NoTypeShadowing) we no longer
need Lint to carry an ambient substitution. This makes it
simpler and faster. A really worthwhile refactor.
There are some knock-on effects
* Linting join points after worker/wrapper. See
Note [Join points and beta redexes]
* Running a type substitution after the desugarer.
See Note [Substituting type-lets] in
the new module GHC.Core.SubstTypeLets
Implements #27078
Most perf tests don't use Lint so we won't see a perf incresae.
But T1969, which uses -O0 and Lint, gets 1.3% worse because it has
to run the SubstTypeLets pass which is a somewhat expensive no-op
Overall though compile-time allocations are down 0.1%.

testsuite: inline elemCoreTest
Some weird (probably python scoping) rule caused elemCoreTest, a regex

This patch just inlines the regex, which fixes the issue.

compiler: avoid unused temporary `appendFS` operands
This patch fixes unused temporary `appendFS` operands in the codebase
that are retained in the `FastString` table after concatenation.
Rewrite rules are added so that if an operand is
`fsLit`/`mkFastString`, the `appendFS` application is rewritten to
append the `ShortByteString` operands first. The patch also fixes
`sconcat` behavior to align with `mconcat` for the same reason. Fixes #27205.

compiler: improve Binary instance of Array
This patch improves the `Binary` instance of `Array`:
- We no longer allocate intermediate lists. When serializing an
`Array`, we iterate over the elements directly; when deserializing
it, we allocate the result `Array` and fill it in a loop.
- Now we only serialize the array bounds tuple; the length field is
not needed.
Closes #27109.

Vendor mini-QuickCheck for testsuite
This commit extracts the vendored QuickCheck implementation from the
foundation testsuite to make it more broadly available in the GHC
testsuite, and makes use of it in the simd006 test (which also used
a vendored QuickCheck implementation).
On the way, we update the linear congruential generator to avoid the
shortcoming of only generating 31 bit large numbers.
Fixes #25990 and #25969.

Ensure TcM plugins are only initialised once
This commit ensures we keep TcM plugins (typechecker plugins,
defaulting plugins and hole fit plugins) running all the way through
desugaring, instead of stopping them at the end of typechecking.
To do this, the "stop" actions of TcPlugin and DefaultingPlugin are
split into two: one for the "post-typecheck" action, and one for the
final shutdown action (after desugaring).
This allows the plugins to be invoked by the pattern match checker
(during desugaring) without having to be repeatedly re-initialised and
stopped, fixing #26839.
In the process, this commit modifies 'initTc' and 'initTcInteractive',
adding an extra argument that describes whether to start/stop the 'TcM'
plugins.
See Note [Stop TcM plugins after desugaring] for an overview.

hadrian/build-cabal.bat: fix build on Windows
Commit 8cb99552f6 introduced a warning for a missing package index.
However, the logic was faulty on Windows: the piping was broken, and
"remote-repo-cache:" was being interpreted as a (malformed) drive letter,
leading to the error:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
This commit fixes that by using a temporary file instead of piping.

Use __attribute__((dllimport)) for external RTS symbol declarations
This is needed to be hygenic about DLL symbol imports and exports.
The attribute is ignored on platforms other than Windows.
Use of the attribute however means that external data symbols do not
have a compile-time constant address (they are loaded using an
indirection). This means we have to adjust the rtsSyms initial linker
table so that it is a local constant in a function, rather than a global
constant. We now define it within a function that pre-populates the
symbol table with the RTS symbols.
