See Note [Data for non-algebraic types]

Summary:
This is a fast, non-blocking, asynchronous, interface to tryPutMVar that
can be called from C/C++.

It's useful for callback-based C/C++ APIs: the idea is that the callback
invokes hs_try_putmvar(), and the Haskell code waits for the callback to
run by blocking in takeMVar.

The callback doesn't block - this is often a requirement of
callback-based APIs.  The callback wakes up the Haskell thread with
minimal overhead and no unnecessary context-switches.

There are a couple of benchmarks in
testsuite/tests/concurrent/should_run.  Some example results comparing
hs_try_putmvar() with using a standard foreign export:

    ./hs_try_putmvar003 1 64 16 100 +RTS -s -N4     0.49s
    ./hs_try_putmvar003 2 64 16 100 +RTS -s -N4     2.30s

hs_try_putmvar() is 4x faster for this workload (see the source for
hs_try_putmvar003.hs for details of the workload).

An alternative solution is to use the IO Manager for this.  We've tried
it, but there are problems with that approach:
* Need to create a new file descriptor for each callback
* The IO Manger thread(s) become a bottleneck
* More potential for things to go wrong, e.g. throwing an exception in
  an IO Manager callback kills the IO Manager thread.

A folow-up to D2521 (which addressed #12583), where the `Outputable` `ppr`
output was tweaked to display a list comprehension with only one `Stmt` as
`[Foo]` instead of `[Foo|]` (which isn't valid Haskell). I forgot to update
the corresponding code in `Language.Haskell.TH.Ppr` which pretty-prints
`CompE`, however, so this commit takes care of that.

Summary:
The generated documentation for thhe Foreign.C.Types
module is generated based on the platform which ran Haddock.

This is generating incorrect types for e.g. Windows.

GHC Trac Issues: #5615

Summary:
With the introduction of 8.0.1 We've stopped supporting in GHCi
the use of POSIX functions under their deprecated names on Windows.

This to be compatible with object and libraries from the most
popular compilers on the platform (Microsoft and Intel compilers).

However this brings a confusing disparity between the compiled and
interpreted behavior since MingW-W64 does support the deprecated names.

Also It seems clear that package writers won't update their packages to
properly support Windows. As such I have added redirects in the RTS
for the deprecated functions as listed on

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235384.aspx.

This won't export the functions (as in, they won't be in the symbol table
of compiled code for the RTS.) but we inject them into the symbol table
of the dynamic linker at startup.

Instead of stg_interp_constr_entry there are now 7 functions (one for
each value of the tag bits) that tag the constructor pointer before
returning. This is consistent with compiled constructors' entry code,
and expectations that compiled code places on compiled constructors. The
iserv protocol is extended with an extra field that explains what
pointer tag the constructor should use.

Summary:
This patch implements primitive unboxed sum types, as described in
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/UnpackedSumTypes.

Main changes are:

- Add new syntax for unboxed sums types, terms and patterns. Hidden
  behind `-XUnboxedSums`.

- Add unlifted unboxed sum type constructors and data constructors,
  extend type and pattern checkers and desugarer.

- Add new RuntimeRep for unboxed sums.

- Extend unarise pass to translate unboxed sums to unboxed tuples right
  before code generation.

- Add `StgRubbishArg` to `StgArg`, and a new type `CmmArg` for better
  code generation when sum values are involved.

- Add user manual section for unboxed sums.

Some other changes:

- Generalize `UbxTupleRep` to `MultiRep` and `UbxTupAlt` to
  `MultiValAlt` to be able to use those with both sums and tuples.

- Don't use `tyConPrimRep` in `isVoidTy`: `tyConPrimRep` is really
  wrong, given an `Any` `TyCon`, there's no way to tell what its kind
  is, but `kindPrimRep` and in turn `tyConPrimRep` returns `PtrRep`.

- Fix some bugs on the way: #12375.

Not included in this patch:

- Update Haddock for new the new unboxed sum syntax.

- `TemplateHaskell` support is left as future work.

For reviewers:

- Front-end code is mostly trivial and adapted from unboxed tuple code
  for type checking, pattern checking, renaming, desugaring etc.

- Main translation routines are in `RepType` and `UnariseStg`.
  Documentation in `UnariseStg` should be enough for understanding
  what's going on.

Credits:

- Johan Tibell wrote the initial front-end and interface file
  extensions.

- Simon Peyton Jones reviewed this patch many times, wrote some code,
  and helped with debugging.

Summary:
This annotates the splice point with 'HsSpliced ref e' where 'e' is the
result of the splice. 'ref' is a reference that the typechecker will fill with
the local type environment.

The finalizer then reads the ref and uses the local type environment, which
causes 'reify' to find local variables when run in the finalizer.
