ipe: Place strings and metadata into specific .ipe section
By placing the .ipe metadata into a specific section it can be stripped
from the final binary if desired.
```
objcopy --remove-section .ipe <binary>
upx <binary>
```

ipe: Place magic word at the start of entries in the .ipe section
The magic word "IPE\nIPE\n" is placed at the start of .ipe sections,
then if the section is stripped, we can check whether the section starts
with the magic word or not to determine whether there is metadata
present or not.

ipe: Use stable IDs for IPE entries
IPEs have historically been indexed and reported by their address.
This makes it impossible to compare profiles between runs, since the
addresses may change (due to ASLR) and also makes it tricky to separate
out the IPE map from the binary.
This small patch adds a stable identifier for each IPE entry.
The stable identifier is a single 64 bit word. The high-bits are a
per-module identifier and the low bits identify which entry in each
module.
1. When a node is added into the IPE buffer it is assigned a unique
identifier from an incrementing global counter.
2. Each entry already has an index by it's position in the
`IpeBufferListNode`.
The two are combined together by the `IPE_ENTRY_KEY` macro.
Info table profiling uses the stable identifier rather than the address
of the info table.
The benefits of this change are:
* Profiles from different runs can be easily compared
* The metadata can be extracted from the binary (via the eventlog for
example) and then stripped from the executable.
Fixes #21766

In TcSShortCut, typechecker plugins should get empty Givens
Solving in TcShortCut mode means /ignoring the Givens/. So we
should not pass them to typechecker plugins!
Fixes #26258.
This is a fixup to the earlier MR:

hadrian: enable terminfo if --with-curses-* flags are given
The GHC make build system used to support WITH_TERMINFO in ghc.mk which
allowed controlling whether to build GHC with terminfo or not. hadrian
has replaced this with a system where this is effectively controlled by
the cross-compiling setting (the default WITH_TERMINFO value was bassed
on CrossCompiling, iirc).
This behavior is undesireable in some cases and there is not really a
good way to work around it. Especially for downstream packagers,
modifying this via UserSettings is not really feasible since such a
source file has to be kept in sync with Settings/Default.hs manually
since it can't import Settings.Default or any predefined Flavour
definitions.
To avoid having to add a new setting to cfg/system.config and/or a new
configure flag (though I'm happy to implement both if required), I've
chosen to take --with-curses-* being set explicitly as an indication
that the user wants to have terminfo enabled. This would work for
Nixpkgs which sets these flags [1] as well as haskell.nix [2] (which
goes to some extreme measures [3] [4] to force terminfo in all scenarios).
In general, I'm an advocate for making the GHC build be the same for
native and cross insofar it is possible since it makes packaging GHC and
Haskell related things while still supporting cross much less
compilicated. A more minimal GHC with reduced dependencies should
probably be a specific flavor, not the default.
Partially addresses #26288 by forcing terminfo to be built if the user
explicitly passes configure flags related to it. However, it isn't built
by default when cross-compiling yet nor is there an explicit way to
control the package being built.

Add default QuasiQuoters
Add `defaultQuasiQuoter` and `namedDefaultQuasiQuoter` to make it easier
to write `QuasiQuoters` that give helpful error messages when they're
used in inappropriate contexts.
Closes #24434.
