ghc-internal: add MonadFix instance for (,)
Closes #24288, implements CLC proposal https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/238.
Adds a MonadFix instance for tuples, permitting value recursion in the "native" writer monad and bringing consistency with the existing instance for transformers's WriterT (and, to a lesser extent, for Solo).
See the CLC thread for proofs of the MonadFix laws.
