This patch adds foldl' to GhcPrelude and changes must occurences of foldl to foldl'. This leads to better performance especially for quick builds where GHC does not perform strictness analysis. It does change strictness behaviour when we use foldl' to turn a argument list into function applications. But this is only a drawback if code looks ONLY at the last argument but not at the first. And as the benchmarks show leads to fewer allocations in practice at O2.
