Move code-gen aux symbols from ghc-internal to rts

Rodrigo Mesquita requested to merge wip/romes/26166-move-prims into master 
These symbols were all previously defined in ghc-internal and made the
dependency structure awkward, where the rts may refer to some of these
symbols and had to work around that circular dependency the way
described in #26166.

Moreover, the code generator will produce code that uses these symbols!
Therefore, they should be available in the rts:

PRINCIPLE: If the code generator may produce code which uses this
symbol, then it should be defined in the rts rather than, say,
ghc-internal.

That said, the main motivation is towards fixing #26166.

Towards #26166 (closed). Pre-requisite of !14892 (closed)
