Add -fworker-wrapper flag which enables the worker-wrapper transformation. It
is implied by -O.

The expected users of this flag, which includes myself, are GHC API users.  In
my Haskell-to-Hardware compiler, which uses the GHC API, I have seen no
benifits of the worker-wrapper transformation. It does however induce longer
compilation times.

Fixes #10267. Typed holes in typed Template Haskell currently don't work.
See #10945 and #10946.

Trac #10796 exposes a way to make `template-haskell`'s `dataToQa` function
freak out if using a `Data` instance that produces a `Constr` (by means of
`toConstr`) using a function name instead of a data constructor name. While
such `Data` instances are somewhat questionable, they are nevertheless present
in popular libraries (e.g., `containers`), so we can at least make `dataToQa`
aware of their existence.

In order to properly distinguish strings which represent variables (as opposed
to data constructors), it was necessary to move functionality from `Lexeme` (in
`ghc`) to `GHC.Lexeme` in a new `ghc-boot` library (which was previously named
`bin-package-db`).

GHC Trac Issues: #10796

Summary:
Unlike `-XDefaultSignatures`, `-XDeriveAnyClass` would not fill in
associated type family defaults when deriving a class which contained
them.

In order to fix this properly, `tcATDefault` needed to be used from
`TcGenDeriv`. To avoid a module import cycle, `tcATDefault` was moved
from `TcInstDcls` to `TcClsDcl`.

Fixes #10361.

GHC Trac Issues: #10361

This adds a data family (`URec`) and six data family instances (`UAddr`,
`UChar`, `UDouble`, `UFloat`, `UInt`, and `UWord`) which a `deriving
Generic(1)` clause will generate if it sees `Addr#`, `Char#`, `Double#`,
`Float#`, `Int#`, or `Word#`, respectively. The programmer can then
provide instances for these data family instances to provide custom
implementations for unboxed types, similar to how derived `Eq`, `Ord`,
and `Show` instances currently special-case unboxed types.

Fixes #10868.
