ghc-internal: invert dependency of GHC.Internal.TH.Syntax on Data.Data
This means that Data.Data no longer blocks building TH.Syntax, which
allows greater parallelism in our builds.
We move the Data.Data.Data instances to Data.Data. Quasi depends on
Data.Data for one of its methods, so,
we split the Quasi/Q, etc definition out of GHC.Internal.TH.Syntax
into its own module. This has the added benefit of splitting up this
quite large module.
Previously TH.Syntax was a bottleneck when compiling ghc-internal. Now
it is less of a bottle-neck and is also slightly quicker to
compile (since it no longer contains these instances) at the cost of
making Data.Data slightly more expensive to compile.
TH.Lift which depends on TH.Syntax can also compile quicker and no
longer blocks ghc-internal finishing to compile.
