Add name for -Wunusable-unpack-pragmas
This warning had no name or flag and was triggered unconditionally.
Now it is part of -Wdefault.
In GHC.Tc.TyCl.tcTyClGroupsPass's strict mode, we now have to
force-enable this warning to ensure that detection of flawed groups
continues to work even if the user disables the warning with the
-Wno-unusable-unpack-pragmas option. Test case: T3990c
Also, the misnamed BackpackUnpackAbstractType is now called
UnusableUnpackPragma.

Fix specialisation of incoherent instances (fixes #25883)
GHC normally assumes that class constraints are canonical, meaning that
the specialiser is allowed to replace one dictionary argument with another
provided that they have the same type. The `-fno-specialise-incoherents`
flag alters INCOHERENT instance definitions so that they will prevent
specialisation in some cases, by inserting `nospec`.
This commit fixes a bug in 7124e4ad76d98f1fc246ada4fd7bf64413ff2f2e, which
treated some INCOHERENT instance matches as if `-fno-specialise-incoherents`
was in effect, thereby unnecessarily preventing specialisation. In addition
it updates the relevant `Note [Rules for instance lookup]` and adds a new
`Note [Canonicity for incoherent matches]`.

user's guide: update specification of overlapping/incoherent instances
The description of the instance resolution algorithm in the user's
guide was slightly out of date, because it mentioned in-scope given
constraints only at the end, whereas the implementation checks for
their presence before any of the other steps.
This also adds a warning to the user's guide about the impact of
incoherent instances on specialisation, and more clearly documents
some of the other effects of `-XIncoherentInstances`.
