Major refactor of free-variable functions
For some time we have had two free-variable mechanims for types:
* The "FV" mechanism, embodied in GHC.Utils.FV, which worked OK, but
was fragile where eta-expansion was concerned.
* The TyCoFolder mechanism, using a one-shot EndoOS accumulator
I finally got tired of this and refactored the whole thing, thereby
addressing #27080. Now we have
* `GHC.Types.Var.FV`, which has a composable free-variable result type,
very much in the spirit of the old `FV`, but much more robust.
(It uses the "one shot trick".)
* GHC.Core.TyCo.FVs now has just one technology for free variables.
All this led to a lot of renaming.
There are couple of error-message changes. The change in T18451
makes an already-poor error message even more mysterious. But
it really needs a separate look.
We also now traverse the AST in a different order leading to a different
but still deterministic order for FVs and test output has been adjusted
accordingly.

Add utility pprTrace_ function
This function is useful for quick debugging, as it can be added to a
where clause to pretty-print debugging information:
fooBar x y
| cond = body1
| otherwise = body2
where
!_ = pprTrace_ "fooBar" $
vcat [ text "x:" <+> ppr x
, text "y:" <+> ppr y
, text "cond:" <+> ppr cond
]

packaging: correctly propagate build/host/target to bindist configure script
At the moment the host and target which we will produce a compiler for
is fixed at the initial configure time. Therefore we need to persist
the choice made at this time into the installation bindist as well so we
look for the right tools, with the right prefixes at install time.
In the future, we want to provide a bit more control about what kind of
bindist we produce so the logic about what the host/target will have to
be written by hadrian rather than persisted by the configure script. In
particular with cross compilers we want to either build a normal stage 2
cross bindist or a stage 3 bindist, which creates a bindist which has a
native compiler for the target platform.
Fixes #21970

Cross --host and --target no longer required for cross (#21970)
We set sane defaults in the configure script. Thus, these paramenters

ci: Define USER_CONF_CC_OPTS_STAGE2 for aarch64/mingw
ghc-toolchain doesn't see $CONF_CC_OPTS_STAGE2 when the bindist gets
configured. So, the hack to override the compiler gets lost.

Implement modifiers syntax.
The `%m` syntax of linear types is now accepted in more places, to allow
use by future extensions, though so far linear types is still the only
consumer.
This may break existing code where it
* Uses -XLinearTypes.
* Has code of the form `a %m -> b`, where `m` can't be inferred to be
kind Multiplicity.
The code can be fixed either by adding a kind annotation, or by setting
`-XLinearTypes -XNoModifiers`.

hadrian: Don't include the package hash in the haddock directory
Since GHC 9.8 and hash_unit_ids, haddock urls have looked like`ghc-9.10.3/doc/html/libraries/base-4.20.2.0-39f9/**/*.html`
The inclusion of the hash makes it hard for downstream non-boot packages to properly link to these files, as the hash is not
part of a standard cabal substitution.
Since we only build one version of each package, we don't need the hash to disambiguate anything, we can just remove it.

testsuite: Allow multiple ways to be run by setting multiple command-line options
This patch allows multiple `--test-way`s to take effect, like:
$ hadrian/build test --test-way=normal --test-way=llvm
Previously, only one way was run if the test speed was 'normal' or 'fast'.

Use upsert for non-deleting map updates
Some compiler functions were using `alter`, despite never removing
any entries: they only update an existing entry or insert a new one.
These functions are converted to using `upsert`:
alter :: (Maybe a -> Maybe a) -> Key -> Map a -> Map a
upsert :: (Maybe a -> a) -> Key -> Map a -> Map a
`upsert` variants are also added to APIs of the various Word64Map
wrapper types.
The precedent for this `upsert` operation is in the containers library:

WIP: Monomorphize instead of specialize
These functions were polymorphized in cc2bf8e for the benefit
of Asterius / WASM. Since the polymorphism doesn't appear to
be needed anymore, it seems easiest and most efficient to
monomorphize them again in order to get rid of the
dictionary-passing.
