Use 'OsPath' in getModificationTimeIfExists

This part of the compiler is quite hot during recompilation checking in
particular since the filepaths will be translated to a string. It is
better to use the 'OsPath' native function, which turns out to be easy
to do.

Namespace-specified wildcards in import/export lists (#25901)

This change adds support for top-level namespace-specified wildcards
`type ..` and `data ..` to import and export lists.

Examples:
  import M (type ..) -- imports all type and class constructors from M
  import M (data ..) -- imports all data constructors and terms from M
  module M (type .., f) where
    -- exports all type and class constructors defined in M,
    -- plus the function 'f'

The primary intended usage of this feature is in combination with module
aliases, allowing namespace disambiguation:
  import Data.Proxy as T (type ..)  -- T.Proxy is unambiguously the type constructor
  import Data.Proxy as D (data ..)  -- D.Proxy is unambiguously the data constructor

The patch accounts for the interactions of wildcards with:
* Imports with `hiding` clauses
* Import warnings -Wunused-imports, -Wdodgy-imports
* Export warnings -Wduplicate-exports, -Wdodgy-exports

Summary of the changes:

1. Move the NamespaceSpecifier type from GHC.Hs.Binds to GHC.Hs.Basic,
   making it possible to use it in more places in the AST.

2. Extend the AST (type: IE) with a representation of `..`, `type ..`,
   and `data ..` (constructor: IEWholeNamespace). Per the proposal, the
   plain `..` is always rejected with a dedicated error message.

3. Extend the grammar in Parser.y with productions for `..`, `type ..`,
   and `data ..` in both import and export lists.

4. Implement wildcard imports by updating the `filterImports` function
   in GHC.Rename.Names; the logic for IEWholeNamespace is roughly
   modeled after the Nothing (no explicit import list) case.

5. Implement wildcard exports by updating the `exports_from_avail`
   function in GHC.Tc.Gen.Export; the logic for IEWholeNamespace is
   closely modeled after the IEModuleContents case.

6. Refactor and extend diagnostics to report the new warnings and
   errors. See PsErrPlainWildcardImport, DodgyImportsWildcard,
               PsErrPlainWildcardExport, DodgyExportsWildcard,
               TcRnDupeWildcardExport.

Note that this patch is specifically about top-level import/export
items. Subordinate import/export items are left unchanged.

rts: Handle overflow of ELF section header string table

If the section header string table is stored in a section greater
than or equal to SHN_LORESERVE (0xff00), the 16-bit field e_shstrndx
in the ELF header does not contain the section number, but rather
an overflow value SHN_XINDEX (0xffff) indicating that we need to look
elsewhere.

This fixes the linker by not using e_shstrndx directly but calling
elf_shstrndx, which correctly handles the SHN_XINDEX value.

Fixes #26603

Re CLC issue 292 Warn GHC.Internal.List.{init,last} are partial

Also corrects the warning for `tail` to refer to `Data.List.uncons` (like the existing warning for `head`).

In module `Settings.Warnings`, applies `-Wno-x-partial` to the `filepath`, and `parsec` packages (outside GHC's repository).

Also bumps submodules.

devx: minor fixes for compile_flags.txt

This patch includes minor fixes for compile_flags.txt to improve
developer experience when using clangd as language server to hack on
RTS C sources:

- Ensure `-fPIC` is passed and `__PIC__` is defined, to be coherent
  with `-DDYNAMIC` and ensure the `__PIC__` guarded code paths are
  indexed
- Add the missing `-DRtsWay` definition, otherwise a few source files
  like `RtsUtils.c` and `Trace.c` would produce clangd errors

Add support for building bytecode libraries

A bytecode library is a collection of bytecode files (.gbc) and a
library which combines together additional object files.

A bytecode library is created by invoking GHC with the `-bytecodelib`
flag.

A library can be created from in-memory `ModuleByteCode` linkables or
by passing `.gbc` files as arguments on the command line.

Load bytecode libraries to satisfy package dependencies

This commit allows you to use a bytecode library to satisfy a package
dependency when using the interpreter.

If a user enables `-fprefer-byte-code`, then if a package provides a
bytecode library, that will be loaded and used to satisfy the
dependency.

The main change is to separate the relevant parts of the `LoaderState`
into external and home package byte code. Bytecode is loaded into either
the home package or external part (similar to HPT/EPS split), HPT
bytecode can be unloaded. External bytecode is never unloaded.

The unload function has also only been called with an empty list of
"stable linkables" for a long time. It has been modified to directly
implement a complete unloading of the home package bytecode linkables.

At the moment, the bytecode libraries are found in the "library-dirs"
field from the package description. In the future when `Cabal`
implements support for "bytecode-library-dirs" field, we can read the
bytecode libraries from there. No changes to the Cabal submodule are
necessary at the moment.

Four new tests are added in testsuite/tests/cabal, which generate fake
package descriptions and test loading the libraries into GHCi.

Fixes #26298

driver: don't expect nodes to exist when checking paths between them

In `mgQueryZero`, previously node lookups were expected to never fail,
i.e. it was expected that when calculating the path between two nodes in
a zero level import graph, both nodes would always exist. This is not
the case, e.g. in some situations involving exact names (see the
test-case). The fix is to first check whether the node is present in the
graph at all, instead of panicking, just to report that there is no
path.

Closes #26568

hadrian: Use a response file to invoke GHC for dep gathering.

In some cases we construct an argument list too long for GHC to
handle directly on windows. This happens when we generate
the dependency file because the command line will contain
references to a large number of .hs files.

To avoid this we now invoke GHC using a response file when
generating dependencies to sidestep length limitations.

Note that we only pass the actual file names in the dependency
file. Why? Because this side-steps #26560

rts: Fix object file format detection in loadArchive

Commit 76d1041dfa4b96108cfdd22b07f2b3feb424dcbe seems to
have introduced this bug, ultimately leading to failure of
test T11788. I can only theorize that this test isn't run
in upstream's CI, because they don't build a static GHC.

The culprit is that we go through the thin archive, trying
to follow the members on the filesystem, but don't
re-identify the new object format of the member. This pins
`object_fmt` to `NotObject` from the thin archive.

Thanks to @angerman for spotting this.

Stack.Decode: Don't error on bitmap size 0

A RET_BCO may have a bitmap with no payload.
In that case, the bitmap = 0.

One can observe this by using -ddump-bcos and interpreting

```
main = pure ()
```

Observe, for instance, that the BCO for this main function has size 0:

```
ProtoBCO Main.main#0:
   \u []
       break<main:Main,0>() GHC.Internal.Base.pure
                                GHC.Internal.Base.$fApplicativeIO GHC.Internal.Tuple.()
   bitmap:  0 []
   BRK_FUN <breakarray> main:Main 0 <cc>
   PACK     () 0
   PUSH_G   GHC.Internal.Base.$fApplicativeIO
   PUSH_APPLY_PP
   PUSH_G   GHC.Internal.Base.pure
   ENTER
```

Perhaps we never tried to decode a stack in which a BCO like this was
present. However, for the debugger, we want to decode stacks of threads
stopped at breakpoints, and these kind of BCOs do get on a stack under
e.g. `stg_apply_interp_info` frames.

See the accompanying test in the next commit for an example to trigger
the bug this commit fixes.

Narrow before optimising MUL/DIV/REM into shifts

The MUL/DIV/REM operations can be optimised into shifts when one of the
operands is a constant power of 2. However, as literals in Cmm are
stored as 'Integer', for this to be correct we first need to narrow the
literal to the appropriate width before checking whether the literal is
a power of 2.

Decouple 'Language.Haskell.Syntax.Type' from 'GHC.Utils.Panic'

  - Remove the *original* defintion of 'hsQTvExplicit' defined within 'Language.Haskell.Syntax.Type'

  - Redefine 'hsQTvExplicit' as 'hsq_explicit' specialized to 'GhcPass' exported by 'GHC.Utils.Panic'

  - Define 'hsQTvExplicitBinders' as 'hsq_explicit' specialized to 'DocNameI' exported by 'Haddock.GhcUtils'.

  - Replace all call sites of the original 'hsQTvExplicit' definition with either:
    1. 'hsQTvExplicit' updated definition
    2. 'hsQTvExplicitBinders'

All call sites never entered the 'XLHsQTyVars' constructor branch, but a call to 'panic' existed on this code path because the type system was not strong enought to guarantee that the 'XLHsQTyVars' construction was impossible.
These two specialized functions provide the type system with enough information to make that guarantee, and hence the dependancy on 'panic' can be removed.

Quantify arg before mult in function arrows

As noted in #23764, we expect quantification order to be left-to-right,
so that in a type such as

  a %m -> b

the inferred quantification order should be [a, m, b] and not [m, a, b].

This was addressed in commit d31fbf6c, but that commit failed to update
some other functions such as GHC.Core.TyCo.FVs.tyCoFVsOfType.

This affects Haddock, as whether we print an explicit forall or not
depends on whether the inferred quantification order matches the actual
quantification order.

Haddock: improvements to ty-var quantification

This commit makes several improvements to how Haddock deals with the
quantification of type variables:

  1. In pattern synonyms, Haddock used to jumble up universal and
     existential quantification. That is now fixed, fixing #26252.

     Tested in the 'PatternSyns2' haddock-html test.

  2. The logic for computing whether to use an explicit kind annotation
     for a type variable quantified in a forall was not even wrong.
     This commit improves the heuristic, but it will always remain an
     imperfect heuristic (lest we actually run kind inference again).
     In the future (#26271), we hope to avoid reliance on this heuristic.

compiler: remove unused CPP code in foreign stub

This patch removes unused CPP code in the generated foreign stub:

- `#define IN_STG_CODE 0` is not needed, since `Rts.h` already
  includes this definition
- The `if defined(__cplusplus)` code paths are not needed in the `.c`
  file, since we don't generate C++ stubs and don't include C++
  headers in our stubs. But it still needs to be present in the `.h`
  header since it might be later included into C++ source files.
