Switch -fpolymorphic-specialisation on by default
This patch addresses #23559.
Now that !10479 has landed and #26329 is fixed, we can switch on
polymorphic specialisation by default, addressing a bunch of other
tickets listed in #23559.
Metric changes:
* CoOpt_Singleton: +4% compiler allocations: we just get more
specialisations
* info_table_map_perf: -20% decrease in compiler allocations.
This is caused by using -fno-specialise in ExactPrint.hs
Without that change we get a 4x blow-up in compile time;
see !15058 for details
Metric Decrease:
info_table_map_perf
Metric Increase:
CoOpt_Singletons

Enable specialisation of function calls to known dictionaries with free type variables.
The created specialisation will abstract over the type variables free in the dictionary.
