ghc-prim:GHC.Prim has deprecation warnings on some primops but they don't appear in base:GHC.Exts

Compare for example sizeofSmallMutableArray#:

• https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-prim-0.6.1/docs/GHC-Prim.html#v:sizeofSmallMutableArray-35-
• https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.14.1.0/docs/GHC-Exts.html#v:sizeofSmallMutableArray-35-

added Tbug documentation needs triage labels

added primops label and removed needs triage label

added Pnormal label

I suspect the genprimops logic which is responsible for deprecations adds them to the GHC.Prim source module consumed by haddock, but fails to put these deprecations into the metadata used for the wired-in declarations.

A tactical solution would be to create proxy functions in GHC.Exts and apply deprecations again:

import GHC.Prim hiding (sizeofSmallMutableArray#)
import qualified GHC.Prim

sizeofSmallMutableArray# :: _
sizeofSmallMutableArray# = GHC.Prim.sizeofSmallMutableArray#
{-# WARNING sizeofSmallMutableArray# "..." #-}

Even with the GHC fix in !5548 (closed), haddock needs to be fixed: https://github.com/haskell/haddock/issues/223
