    RTS tidyup sweep, first phase · a2a67cd5
    Simon Marlow authored
    The first phase of this tidyup is focussed on the header files, and in
    particular making sure we are exposinng publicly exactly what we need
    to, and no more.
    
     - Rts.h now includes everything that the RTS exposes publicly,
       rather than a random subset of it.
    
     - Most of the public header files have moved into subdirectories, and
       many of them have been renamed.  But clients should not need to
       include any of the other headers directly, just #include the main
       public headers: Rts.h, HsFFI.h, RtsAPI.h.
    
     - All the headers needed for via-C compilation have moved into the
       stg subdirectory, which is self-contained.  Most of the headers for
       the rest of the RTS APIs have moved into the rts subdirectory.
    
     - I left MachDeps.h where it is, because it is so widely used in
       Haskell code.
     
     - I left a deprecated stub for RtsFlags.h in place.  The flag
       structures are now exposed by Rts.h.
    
     - Various internal APIs are no longer exposed by public header files.
    
     - Various bits of dead code and declarations have been removed
    
     - More gcc warnings are turned on, and the RTS code is more
       warning-clean.
    
     - More source files #include "PosixSource.h", and hence only use
       standard POSIX (1003.1c-1995) interfaces.
    
    There is a lot more tidying up still to do, this is just the first
    pass.  I also intend to standardise the names for external RTS APIs
    (e.g use the rts_ prefix consistently), and declare the internal APIs
    as hidden for shared libraries.
