Allocate static constructors for bytecode
This commit adds support for static constructors when compiling and
linking ByteCode objects.
Top-level StgRhsCon get lowered to ProtoStaticCons rather than to
ProtoBCOs. A ProtoStaticCon gets allocated directly as a data con
application on the heap (using the new primop newConApp#).
Previously, we would allocate a ProtoBCO which, when evaluated, would
PACK and return the constructor.
A few more details are given in Note [Static constructors in Bytecode].
Secondly, this commit also fixes issue #25636 which was caused by
linking *unlifted* constructors in BCO instructions as
- (1) a thunk indexing the array of BCOs in a module
- (2) which evaluated to a BCO which still had to be evaluated to
return the unlifted constructor proper.
The (2) issue has been resolved by allocating the static constructors
directly. The (1) issue can be resolved by ensuring that we allocate all
unlifted top-level constructors eagerly, and leave the knot-tying for
the lifted BCOs and top-level constructors only.
The top-level unlifted constructors are never mutually recursive, so we
can allocate them all in one go as long as we do it in topological
order. Lifted fields of unlifted constructors can still be filled by the
knot-tied lifted variables since in those fields it is fine to keep
those thunks. See Note [Tying the knot in createBCOs] for more details.
Fixes #25636

Revert "StgToByteCode: Assert that PUSH_G'd values are lifted"
This reverts commit ec26c54d818e0cd328276196930313f66b780905.
Ever since f7a22c0f4e9ae0dc767115d4c53fddbd8372b777, we now do support
and will link top-level unlifted constructors into evaluated and
properly tagged values which we can reference with PUSH_G.
This assertion is no longer true and triggered a failure in T25636

refactor: Tag more remote Ptrs as RemotePtr
Pure refactor which improves the API of
- GHC.ByteCode.Linker
- GHC.Runtime.Interpreter
- GHC.Runtime.Interpreter.Types.SymbolCache
by using `RemotePtr` for more functions which used to return `Ptr`s that
could potentially be in a foreign process. E.g. `lookupIE`,
`lookupStaticPtr`, etc...

Add float# and subword tests for #25636
These tests cover that static constructors in bytecode work correctly
for Float# and subword values (Word8#, Word16#)

wip: start fixing, but manually packing things is kind of awful. how to do better? [skip ci]
Just rebased.
