Fix buglet in GHC.Core.Unify.uVarOrFam

cleanup: Drop obsolete comment about HsConDetails
HsConDetails used to have an argument representing the type of the
tyargs in a list:
data HsConDetails tyarg arg rec
= PrefixCon [tyarg] [arg]
This datatype was shared across 3 synonyms: HsConPatDetails,
HsConDeclH98Details, HsPatSynDetails. In the latter two cases, `tyarg`
was instanced to `Void` meaning the list was always empty for these
cases.
In 7b84c58867edca57a45945a20a9391724db6d9e4, this was refactored such
that HsConDetails no longer needs a type of tyargs by construction. The
first case now represents the type arguments in the args type itself,
with something like:
ConPat "MkE" [InvisP tp1, InvisP tp2, p1, p2]
So the deleted comment really is just obsolete.
Fixes #26461

rts: Dynamically initialize built-in closures
To resolve #26166 we need to eliminate references to undefined symbols
in the runtime system. One such source of these is the runtime's
static references to `I#` and `C#` due the `stg_INTLIKE` and
`stg_CHARLIKE` arrays.
To avoid this we make these dynamic, initializing them during RTS
start-up.

compiler: only invoke keepCAFsForGHCi if internal-interpreter is enabled
This patch makes the ghc library only invoke keepCAFsForGHCi if
internal-interpreter is enabled. For cases when it's not (e.g. the
host build of a cross ghc), this avoids unnecessarily retaining all
CAFs in the heap. Also fixes the type signature of c_keepCAFsForGHCi
to match the C ABI.

testsuite: Use ghci_ways to set ways in PackedDataCon/UnboxedTuples/UnliftedDataTypeInterp tests
These tests reimplemented the logic from `valid_way` in order to
determine what ways to run. It's easier to use this combination of
`only_ways` and `extra_ways` to only run in GHCi ways and always run in
GHCi ways.

Rename interpreterBackend to bytecodeBackend
This is preparation for creating bytecode files.
The "interpreter" is one way in which we can run bytecode objects. It is
more accurate to describe that the backend produces bytecode, rather
than the means by which the code will eventually run.
The "interpreterBackend" binding is left as a deprecated alias.

Improve how we detect user type errors in types
This commit cleans up all the code responsible for detecting whether a
type contains "TypeError msg" applications nested inside it. All the
logic is now in 'userTypeError_maybe', which is always deep. Whether
it looks inside type family applications is determined by the passed-in
boolean flag:
- When deciding whether a constraint is definitely insoluble, don't
look inside type family applications, as they may still reduce -- in
which case the TypeError could disappear.
- When reporting unsolved constraints, look inside type family
applications: they had the chance to reduce but didn't, and the
custom type error might contain valuable information.
All the details are explained in Note [Custom type errors in constraints]
in GHC.Tc.Types.Constraint.
Another benefit of this change is that it allows us to get rid of the
deeply dodgy 'getUserTypeErrorMsg' function.
This commit also improves the detection of custom type errors, for
example in equality constraints:
TypeError blah ~# rhs
It used to be the case that we didn't detect the TypeError on the LHS,
because we never considered that equality constraints could be insoluble
due to the presence of custom type errors. Addressing this oversight
improves detection of redundant pattern match warnings, fixing #26400.

cleanup: Drop obsolete settings from config.mk.in
These values used to be spliced into the bindist's `config.mk` s.t. when
`make` was run, the values were read and written into the bindist installation `settings` file.
However, we now carry these values to the bindist directly in the
default.target toolchain file, and `make` writes almost nothing to
`settings` now (see #26227)
The entries deleted in this MR were already unused.

rts/posix: Hold on to low reservations when reserving heap
Previously when the OS gave us an address space reservation in low
memory we would immediately release it and try again. However, on some
platforms this meant that we would get the same allocation again in the
next iteration (since mmap's `hint` argument is just that, a hint).
Instead we now hold on to low reservations until we have found a
suitable heap reservation.
Fixes #26151.

Build terminfo only in upper stages in cross-builds (#26288)
Currently, there's no way to provide library paths for [n]curses for
both - build and target - in cross-builds. As stage0 is only used to
build upper stages, it should be fine to build terminfo only for them.
This re-enables building cross-compilers with terminfo.

Improvements to 'mayLookIdentical'
This commit makes significant improvements to the machinery that decides
when we should pretty-print the "invisible bits" of a type, such as:
- kind applications, e.g. '@k' in 'Proxy @k ty'
- RuntimeReps, e.g. 'TYPE r'
- multiplicities and linear arrows 'a %1 -> b'
To do this, this commit refactors 'mayLookIdentical' to return **which**
of the invisible bits don't match up, e.g. in
(a %1 -> b) ~ (a %Many -> b)
we find that the invisible bit that doesn't match up is a multiplicity,
so we should set 'sdocLinearTypes = True' when pretty-printing, and with
e.g.
Proxy @k1 ~ Proxy @k2
we find that the invisible bit that doesn't match up is an invisible
TyCon argument, so we set 'sdocPrintExplicitKinds = True'.
We leverage these changes to remove the ad-hoc treatment of linearity
of data constructors with 'dataConDisplayType' and 'dataConNonLinearType'.
This is now handled by the machinery of 'pprWithInvisibleBits'.
Fixes #26335 #26340

Store SDoc context in SourceError
This commits modifies the SourceError datatype which is used for
throwing and then reporting exceptions by storing all the info we need
to be able to print the SDoc, including whether we should print with
explicit kinds, explicit runtime-reps, etc.
This is done using the new datatype:
data SourceErrorContext
= SEC
!DiagOpts
!(DiagnosticOpts GhcMessage)
Now, when we come to report an error (by handling the exception), we
have access to the full context we need.

Add support for generating bytecode objects
This commit adds the `-fwrite-byte-code` option which makes GHC emit a
`.gbc` file which contains a serialised representation of bytecode.
The bytecode can be loaded by the compiler to avoid having to
reinterpret a module when using the bytecode interpreter (for example,
in GHCi).
There are also the new options:
* -gbcdir=<DIR>: Specify the directory to place the gbc files
* -gbcsuf=<suffix>: Specify the suffix for gbc files
The option `-fbyte-code-and-object-code` now implies
`-fwrite-byte-code`.
These performance tests fail due to https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/204

Revert "Add a perf test for #26425"
This test has a large memory spike currently, which makes the test
sensitive, since if you allocate a little more or less, the precise
location where GC happens shifts and you observe a different part of the
spike.
Andreas told me to revert the patch for now, and he will add it back
when he fixes the memory spike.
This reverts commit 41bdb16fd083110a06507248f648c507a2feb4af.
