compiler: Export a version of `newNameCache` that is not prone to footguns.
`newNameCache` must be initialized with both a non-"reserved" unique tag, as well
as a list of known key names. Failing to do so results in hard to debug unique conflicts.
It is difficult for API users to tell which unique tags are safe to use. So instead of leaving
this up to the user to decide, we now export a version of `newNameCache` which uses a guaranteed
non-reserved unique tag. In fact, this is now the way the unique tag is initialized for all invocations
of the compiler.
The original version of `newNameCache` is now exported as `newNameCache'` for advanced users.
We also deprecate `initNameCache` as it is also prone to footguns and is completely subsumed in
functionality by `newNameCache` and `newNameCache'`.
Fixes #26135 and #26055

hadrian: bump Stackage snapshot to LTS 24.2 / GHC 9.10.2
In line with #25693 we should use GHC 9.10 as a boot compiler,
while Hadrian stack.yaml was stuck on GHC 9.6.

docs: fix internal import in getopt examples
This external-facing doc example shouldn't mention GHC internals when
using 'fromMaybe'.

Link to the "Strict Bindings" docs from the linear types docs
Strict Bidings are relevant for the kinds of multiplicity annotations
linear lets support.

Store `StackTrace` and `StackSnapshot` in `Backtraces`
Instead of decoding the stack traces when collecting the `Backtraces`,
defer this decoding until actually showing the `Backtraces`.
This allows users to customise how `Backtraces` are displayed by
using a custom implementation of `displayExceptionWithInfo`, overwriting
the default implementation for `Backtraces` (`displayBacktraces`).

Allow users to customise the collection of exception annotations
Add a global `CollectExceptionAnnotationMechanism` which determines how
`ExceptionAnnotation`s are collected upon throwing an `Exception`.
This API is exposed via `ghc-experimental`.
By overriding how we collect `Backtraces`, we can control how the
`Backtraces` are displayed to the user by newtyping `Backtraces` and
giving a different instance for `ExceptionAnnotation`.
A concrete use-case for this feature is allowing us to experiment with
alternative stack decoders, without having to modify `base`, which take
additional information from the stack frames.
This commit does not modify how `Backtraces` are currently
collected or displayed.
