Until now GHC only supported basic constant folding (lit op lit, expr op
0, etc.).

This patch uses laws of +/-/* (associativity, commutativity,
distributivity) to support some constant folding into nested
expressions.

Examples of new transformations:

   - simple nesting: (10 + x) + 10 becomes 20 + x
   - deep nesting: 5 + x + (y + (z + (t + 5))) becomes 10 + (x + (y + (z + t)))
   - distribution: (5 + x) * 6 becomes 30 + 6*x
   - simple factorization: 5 + x + (x + (x + (x + 5))) becomes 10 + (4 *x)
   - siblings: (5 + 4*x) - (3*x + 2) becomes 3 + x

This is a small change in user-facing behavior. When we
have a unification variable left over in a CUSK, we previously
would issue an error. But, we can just quantify. This also
teaches kcLHsQTyVars to use quantifyTyVars instead of its own,
ad-hoc quantification scheme.

Fixes #15273.

Add support for built-in Natural literals in Core.

- Replace MachInt,MachWord, LitInteger, etc. with a single LitNumber
  constructor with a LitNumType field
- Support built-in Natural literals
- Add desugar warning for negative literals
- Move Maybe(..) from GHC.Base to GHC.Maybe for module dependency

This patch introduces only a few rules for Natural literals (compared
to Integer's rules). Factorization of the built-in rules for numeric
literals will be done in another patch as this one is already big to
review.

This seems to fix a number of segmentation faults.

There are some rather suspicious failures in the 64-bit case. See #15184 for
details.

Nathan Collins authored 6 years ago and Ben Gamari committed 6 years ago

The docs said that it took a file argument, as in
`-dth-dec-file=<file>`, but it does not take a file argument!

Lest we end up with a non-functional user/group lookup, resulting in #15230.

Consider (Trac #15215)
  data T a = MkT ...
  data S a = ...T...MkT....

If there is an error in the definition of 'T' we add a
"fake type constructor" to the type environment, so that we
can continue to typecheck 'S'.  But we /were not/ adding
a fake anything for 'MkT' and so there was an internal
error when we met 'MkT' in the body of 'S'.

The fix is to add fake tycons for all the 'implicits' of 'T'.
This is done by mk_fake_tc in TcTyClsDecls.checkValidTyCl,
which now returns a /list/ of TyCons rather than just one.

On the way I did some refactoring:

* Rename TcTyDecls.tcAddImplicits to tcAddTyConsToGblEnv
  and make it /include/ the TyCons themeselves as well
  as their implicits

* Some incidental refactoring about tcRecSelBinds. The main
  thing is that I've avoided creating a HsValBinds that we
  immediately decompose.  That meant moving some deck chairs
  around.

NB: The new error message for the regression test T15215
has the opaque error "Illegal constraint in a type:", flagged
in Trac #14845.  But that's the fault of the latter ticket.
The fix here not to blame.

This is a continuation of

        Expand type synonyms when Linting a forall

That patch pointed out that there was a lurking hole in
typeKind, where it could return an ill-scoped kind, because
of not expanding type synonyms enough.

This patch fixes it, quite nicely

* Use occCheckExpand to expand those synonyms (it was always
  designed for that exact purpose), and call it from
         Type.typeKind
         CoreUtils.coreAltType
         CoreLint.lintTYpe

* Consequently, move occCheckExpand from TcUnify.hs to
  Type.hs, and generalise it to take a list of type variables.

I also tidied up lintType a bit.

This patch uses (forall (a::*). a) for the type to
use when recovering from an error in a binding.

Previously (Trac #15276) we had (forall r (a :: TYPE r). a),
which is ill-kinded.

It's quite hard to provoke an error arising from this, because
it only happens in programs that have a type error anyway,
but in a subequent patch I make typeKind fall over if it returns
an ill-scoped kind, and that makes ghci/scripts/T13202 crash
without this fix.

Fix UNREG build failure for 32-bit targets.

This change is an equivalent of commit

The change allows combining two subwords into one word
on 32-bit targets. Tested on nios2-unknown-linux-gnu.

See https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12578.

This reverts commit e4c41ec2.

rts.cabal.in isn't processed by CPP.

Summary:
Implement the "Embrace Type :: Type" GHC proposal,
.../ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0020-no-type-in-type.rst

GHC 8.0 included a major change to GHC's type system: the Type :: Type
axiom. Though casual users were protected from this by hiding its
features behind the -XTypeInType extension, all programs written in GHC
8+ have the axiom behind the scenes. In order to preserve backward
compatibility, various legacy features were left unchanged. For example,
with -XDataKinds but not -XTypeInType, GADTs could not be used in types.
Now these restrictions are lifted and -XTypeInType becomes a redundant
flag that will be eventually deprecated.

* Incorporate the features currently in -XTypeInType into the
  -XPolyKinds and -XDataKinds extensions.
* Introduce a new extension -XStarIsType to control how to parse * in
  code and whether to print it in error messages.
