 Make raiseIO# produce topRes

 Make `raiseIO#` produce `topRes` instead of `ExnRes`. `ExnRes` leads to
 demand analysis being too aggressive, IMO, allowing imprecise exceptions
 produced by `throw` to replace exceptions thrown by `throwIO` that
 would like to think of as precise.

 This fixes that, but is certanly much more conservative than we would
 ideally like. Let's see how bad it is.

 Fixes Trac #13380
