Preserve user-written kinds in data declarations
This commit ensures that we preserve the user-written kind for data
declarations, e.g. in
type T2T = Type -> Type
type D :: T2T
data D a where { .. }
that we preserve the user-written kind of D as 'T2T', instead of
expanding the type synonym 'T2T' during kind checking.
We do this by storing 'tyConKind' separately from 'tyConResKind'. This
means that 'tyConKind' is not necessarily equal to
'mkTyConKind binders res_kind', as e.g. in the above example the former
is 'T2T' while the latter is 'Type -> Type'.
This is explained in Note [Preserve user-written TyCon kind] in GHC.Core.TyCon.
This is particularly important for Haddock, as the kinds stored in
interface files affect the generated documentation, and we want to
preserve the user-written types as much as possible.

Store user-written datacon tvs in interface files
This commit ensures we store the user-written quantified type variables
of data constructors in interface files, e.g. in
data D a where
MkD1 :: forall x. x -> D x
MkD2 :: forall u v. u -> v -> D v
The previous behaviour was to rename the universal variables to match
the universal variables of the data constructor. This was undesirable
because the names that end up in interface files end up mattering for
generated Haddock documentation; it's better to preserve the user-written
type variables.
Moreover, the universal variables may not have been user-written at all,
e.g. in an example such as:
type T2T = Type -> Type
data G :: T2T where
MkG :: forall x. D x
Here GHC will invent the type variable name 'a' for the first binder of
the TyCon G. We really don't want to then rename the user-written 'x'
into the generated 'a'.

DataCon univ_tvs names: pick TyCon over inferred
This commit changes how we compute the names of universal type variables
in GADT data constructors. This augments the existing logic that chose
which type variable name to use, in GHC.Tc.TyCl.mkGADTVars. We continue
to prefer DataCon tv names for user-written binders, but we now prefer
TyCon tv names for inferred (non-user-written) DataCon binders.
This makes a difference in examples such as:
type (:~~:) :: k1 -> k2 -> Type
data a :~~: b where
HRefl :: a :~~: a
Before this patch, we ended up giving HRefl the type:
forall {k2}. forall (a :: k2). a :~~: a
whereas we now give it the type:
forall {k1}. forall (a :: k1). a :~~: a
The important part isn't really 'k1' or 'k2', but more that the inferred
type variable names of the DataCon can be arbitrary/unpredictable (as
they are chosen by GHC and depend on how unification proceeds), so it's
much better to use the more predictable TyCon type variable names.

Backpack Rename: use explicit record construction
This commit updates the Backpack boilerplate in GHC.Iface.Rename to
use explicit record construction rather than record update. This makes
sure that the code stays up to date when the underlying constructors
change (e.g. new fields are added). The rationale is further explained
in Note [Prefer explicit record construction].

Store # eta binders in TyCon and use for Haddock
This commit stores the number of TyCon binders that were introduced by
eta-expansion (by the function GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.splitTyConKind).
This is then used to pretty-print the TyCon as the user wrote it, e.g.
for
type Effect :: (Type -> Type) -> Type -> Type
data State s :: Effect where {..} -- arity 3
GHC will eta-expand the data declaration to
data State s a b where {..}
but also store in the 'TyCon' that the number of binders introduced by
this eta expansion is 2. This allows us, in
'Haddock.Convert.synifyTyConKindSig', to recover the original user-written
syntax, preserving the user's intent in Haddock documentation.
See Note [Inline kind signatures with GADTSyntax] in Haddock.Convert.

driver: Properly handle errors during LinkNode steps
Previously we were not properly catching errors during the LinkNode step
(see T9930fail test).
This is fixed by wrapping the `LinkNode` action in `wrapAction`, the
same handler which is used for module compilation.
Fixes #26496

driver: Remove unecessary call to hscInsertHPT
This call was left-over from e9445c013fbccf9318739ca3d095a3e0a2e1be8a
If you follow the functions which call `upsweep_mod`, they immediately
add the interface to the HomePackageTable when `upsweep_mod` returns.

LLVM backend: Pass the +evex512 attribute to LLVM 18+ if -mavx512f is set
The newer LLVM requires the +evex512 attribute to enable use of ZMM registers.
LLVM exhibits a backward-compatible behavior if the cpu is `x86-64`, but not if `penryn`.
Therefore, on macOS, where the cpu is set to `penryn`, we need to explicitly pass +evex512.
Fixes #26410

Comments only in GHC.Parser.PostProcess.Haddock
Remove outdated Note [Register keyword location], as the issue it describes
was addressed by commit 05eb50dff2fcc78d025e77b9418ddb369db49b9f.

localRegistersConflict: account for assignment LHS
This commit fixes a serious oversight in GHC.Cmm.Sink.conflicts,
specifically the code that computes which local registers conflict
between an assignment and a Cmm statement.
If we have:
