Summary:
Module finalizer could call addTopDecls, however, the declarations
added in this fashion were ignored. This patch makes sure to rename,
type check and incorporate this declarations.

Because a declaration may include a splice which calls addModFinalizer,
the list of finalizers is repeteadly checked after adding declarations
until no more finalizers remain.

The 'return () >>' hack was added in commit
    commit ac88f113
    Date:   Tue Jul 26 12:14:03 2005 +0000

Nowadays it has no effect on generated Core on -O1/-O2
and slightly bloats Core on -O0.

It's a complementary change to
    a48de37d
    restore -fmax-worker-args handling (Trac #11565)

I don't have a small example but I've noticed another
discrepancy when was profiling GHC for performance

    cmmExprNative :: ReferenceKind -> CmmExpr -> CmmOptM CmmExpr

was specialised by 'spec_one' down to a function with arity 159.
As a result 'perf record' pointed at it as at slowest
function in whole ghc library.

I've extended -fmax-worker-args effect to 'spec_one'
as it does the same worker/wrapper split to push
arguments to the heap.

The change decreases heap usage on a synth.bash benchmark
(Trac #9221) from 67G down to 64G (-4%). Benchmark runtime
decreased from 14.5 s down to 14.s (-7%).

GHC Trac Issues: #12487

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.

Test Plan:
./validate
and

make test TEST="ffi017 ffi021"

maxWorkerArgs handling was accidentally lost 3 years ago
in a major update of demand analysis
    commit 0831a12e

Old regression is noticeable as:
- code bloat (requires stack reshuffling)
- compilation slowdown (more code to optimise/generate)
- and increased heap usage (DynFlags unboxing/reboxing?)

On a simple compile benchmark this change causes heap
allocation drop from 70G don to 67G (ghc perf build).

Sadly I don't know precisely which commit regressed this, but it was
quite recent. I'm not sure how this wasn't caught by my test builds.

According to the ABI specifications a minimal stack frame consists
of a header and a minimum size parameter save area. We reserve the
minimal size for each ABI.

On PowerPC 64-bil Linux and AIX the parameter save area can accomodate
up to eight parameters. So calls with eight parameters and fewer
can be done without allocating a new stack frame and deallocating
that stack frame after the call. On AIX one additional spill slot
is available on the stack.

Code size for all nofib benchmarks is 0.3 % smaller on powerpc64.

Test Plan: validate on AIX
