RTS: Update flag parsing/handling:
Using 0 as argument to any of these flags now resets the flags setting to default:
- ``-n0`` disables nursery chunking.
- ``-K0`` (or a bare ``-K``) removes the stack size limit.
- ``-M0`` removes the heap size limit.
- ``-H0`` resets the suggested heap size, including the nursery scaling set by ``-H``.
- ``-AL0`` makes the large object allocation limit follow ``-A`` again.
GC Generations are now limited to 64.
-n larger than -A now emits a warning and disables chunking.

EPA: Use EpaLocation in EpVirtualBraces
Haddock processing uses EpLayout.EpVirtualBraces to record the current
layout column, for allocating haddock comments correctly.
For exact printing, we need the line as well as the col, so we know
how many lines to skip when the indented code block starts.
This commit updates EpLayout.EpVirtualBraces so that it carries an
EpaLocation instead of just the Int column, to allow it to be used for
both purposes.
It is a simple mechanical change, with no other impact, but it allows
us to use EpLayout instead of AnnListLayout in AnnList, in the next
commit in this series.

Remove bitSize from MINIMAL pragma of class Bits
Cf. https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/441
The function is deprecated for 12 years and has a default implementation,
yet it was never removed from the MINIMAL pragma, putting library authors
in a very awkward position. Let's finally remove bitSize from MINIMAL.

Extend the `TrustOverlay` for wired-in units
The TrustOverlay only contained the `UnitId` of all on-disk units.
However, wired-in units are referred to by their wired-in unit id, which
is not the same as the on-disk unit id.
Thus, trust checks for wired-in units failed because the lookup was
using the wired-in unit, which wasn't present in the `TrustOverlay`.
We fix #27834, by copying the trust info for wired-in unit ids.

ttg: HsModuleName in the AST, ModuleName in GHC
This commit makes the AST fully independent from GHC by parsing a
"module name" as an `HsModuleName (= HText)` rather than constructing an
`ModuleName (= FastString)` straight away.
In the GHC side, everything remains as a `ModuleName`. We turn AST
`HsModuleName`s into fast strings with the cheap `mkFastStringShortText`
when we process the AST for manipulation within the compiler.
There are no performance regressions introduced by this approach.
This is the final piece of #21592
Alternative plans were discussed in
gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/16546#note_694647,
but the Simon suggested one won in simplicity and performance when
compared against my attempt at implementing my original plan of having
a family `ModuleNameP`.

hadrian: Persist the used flavour name in the build root (#20650)
This executes the idea proposed in #20650, teaching Hadrian to persist
the flavour used to build a build root. This both makes use of multiple
build roots more ergonomic (as the user no longer needs to repeat
themselves) and avoids a tiresome foot-gun (forgetting to specify a
flavour, often wholly invalidating a build root).
Closes #20650.

Prepend in-memory unit database for backpack
The packageDbFlags are stored in reverse order. Thus, prepending will
ensure that the in-memory unit database is the last item on the unit
database stack.
Further, the in-memory unit database needs to be able to shadow units
from earlier unit databases in the unit database stack.
Moreover, a `-clear-package-db` would remove the in-memory database if
it weren't the last item on the stack.
Closes #27835

Do not leave standard file descriptors free at startup (#24450)
A process may be started with stdout closed -- `prog >&-` from a shell does
exactly that. Nothing then reserves descriptor 1, and open(), pipe() and
socket() hand out the lowest free descriptor, so the next descriptor the
runtime creates for itself takes it: the ticker's pipe, or a capability's IO
manager control pipe.
'GHC.Internal.IO.StdHandles.stdout' is a CAF, built the first time the program
writes to stdout, which is long after that has happened. It builds a 'Handle'
over descriptor 1, which now belongs to the runtime, and nothing reports an
error because the descriptor is perfectly good. The program then writes its
output into the runtime's own plumbing.
What that looks like from the outside is a hang. The descriptor the Handle has
taken over is the read end of a pipe, so poll() for POLLOUT on it never says
yes and epoll_ctl() accepts a registration for it; the thread waiting to write
blocks for ever. Closing the Handle at exit closes the runtime's descriptor,
which is worse: the ticker then fails on every tick.
'hs_init_ghc' now opens /dev/null onto whichever of descriptors 0, 1 and 2 are
closed, before the runtime creates any descriptor of its own. Each is opened
for the access that descriptor would normally have, read-only for 0 and
write-only for 1 and 2, so that writing to 'stdin' or reading from 'stdout'
still fails rather than quietly succeeding against /dev/null. See
Note [Standard file descriptors must be open].
Moving only the descriptors the runtime opens would not do: the first file the
program itself opened would land on the free number instead. The fix has to
leave no free number. A program run this way therefore finds stdout connected
to /dev/null rather than failing with EBADF on the first write, which is what
such a program would get from most other language runtimes.

Simplify the error-suppression mechanism in GHC.Tc.Errors
In `GHC.Tc.Errors.reportWanteds` we suppress some errors in favour of
others. But the mechanism had grown crufty, and #27331 exposed a bug.
This MR makes it simpler and more uniform, by doing everything via
the `ei_suppress` field of the ErrorItem.
Claude then found another closely-related bug (see the review linked
on !16564). That bug is immortalised in new test T18851d.
I'm still not happy with `ignoreConstraint` but we can worry about
that another day; I have not touched it.
Main changes
* Instead of /predicting/ when an error will be reported, we set
`cec_error_reported` when an error is /actually/ reported. (I renamed
it from `cec_suppress` to reflect this change.)
Now errors are suppressed only when a preceding error has actually been
reported. Simpler and more robust.
See `Note [cec_error_reported: suppressing less-serious errors]`
The big changes are in `reportWanteds` which looks very different.
* New `Note [ei_suppress: suppressing confusing errors]` describes the
(quite separate) `ei_suppress` mechanism for suppressing confusing
errors, mainly arising from non-empty rewriter sets
* In `tryTypeClassDefaulting`, instead of switching off type-class defaulting
if there is an insoluble /anywhere/, we just switch it off locally when
we find an insoluble sub-tree. See Note [When to do type-class defaulting]
and (W5) in Note [ApproximateWC]
* Greatly simplify `insolubleWantedCt`.
* I made type-class-defaulting be a bit more eager, only switched off when
a peer or ancestor (but not child) constraint is insoluble. See
Note [When to do type-class defaulting].
Small refactorings
* Rename `askNoErrs` to `askErrsFound` and flip its polarity
* The code for "check if ei_suppress is true of all items" code is
moved to `mkErrorItems` rather than in the large `reportWanteds`.
* Code for `has_gadt_match` moves to `mkGivenErrorReporter`, rather than
polluting the large `reportWanteds`.
* Many tests with `-fdefer-type-errors` get more warnings, especially
about ambiguous (Num a) constraints. This is by-design: see
Note [Always warn with -fdefer-type-errors]. Previously GHC was not
honouring this Note but now it is, hence the extra errors.
