 Set `infixr -1 ->`

 Summary:
 This simply makes explicit what is already the case. Due to special
 treatment in the parser, `->` has the lowest fixity. This patch propagates
 that information to:

   * GHCi, where `:info ->` now return the right fixity
   * TH, where `reifyFixity` returns the right fixity
   * the generated sources for `GHC.Prim`

 See #15235.

 Test Plan: make test
