Hadrian: create a ghc-internal .def file per ghc-internal dll
The .def file generated from rts/win32/libHSghc-internal.def.in contains
the name of the ghc-internal dll. The correct dll name differs based
on if the dll is inplace/final and if using the Dynamic way. Previously,
this was not accounted for and inconsistent dlls names where used. That
led to failure when loading dlls at runtime in experiments with windows
dynamic linking.

ghc-bignum: copy backend interface haddocks to Native backend (#27305)
The haddock comments documenting the BigNat backend interface (function
contracts, expected MutableWordArray# sizes, return-value semantics, etc.)
were attached to the FFI backend module. Copy them to the Native backend
so they remain in tree once the FFI backend is removed.

ghc-bignum: remove FFI backend (#27305)
The FFI backend of ghc-bignum (now part of ghc-internal) had no known
users and is easy to recreate by relinking ghc-internal with a custom
backend. Remove the backend module, the bignum-ffi cabal flag, and the
ffi option from Hadrian's --bignum selector. The backend interface
documentation now lives in the Native backend module.

ghc-bignum: remove Check backend (#27305)
The Check backend of ghc-bignum (now part of ghc-internal) compared the
selected backend's output against the Native backend for validation.
It had no known users. Remove the backend module, the bignum-check
cabal flag, the bignumCheck Hadrian flavour field, and the check-
prefix in Hadrian's --bignum selector.

hadrian: Refactor system-cxx-std-lib rules
I noticed a few things wrong with the hadrian rules for
`system-cxx-std-lib` rules.
* For `text` there is an ad-hoc check to depend on `system-cxx-std-lib`
outside of `configurePackage`.
* The `system-cxx-std-lib` dependency is not read from cabal files.
* Recache is not called on the packge database after the `.conf` file is
generated, a more natural place for this rule is `registerRules`.
Treating this uniformly like other packages is complicated by it not
having any source code or a cabal file. However we can do a bit better
by reporting the dependency firstly in `PackageData` and then needing
the `.conf` file in the same place as every other package in
`configurePackage`.
This commit increases the `shakeVersion`, to provide backwards
compatibility to previous builds with different PackageData.
Fixes #25303

compiler: use nubOrd from containers
Address #27103 by replacing GHC.Utils.Misc.ordNub[On] with
Data.Containers.ListUtils.nubOrd[On].
Note that nubOrd suffers from a small inefficiency, a fix for which
will be included in the next containers release:

Hadrian: avoid response files when command line is short enough
This replaces the logic of always using response files on Windows.
With the new condition based on command line lenght, reponse files
can be avoided in many more cases (on windows).
