Instead of passing package dependencies via `SRC_HC_OPTS=-package ...`
we rather pass them via `SRC_DEPS`, allowing the build system to
know about the dependency.

Summary:
In the past, we repeatedly had problems with non-deterministic allocations due to stack squeezing during context switches (#4450, #8611).
This patch adds `+RTS -V0 -RTS` as extra `RUNTEST_OPTS` for every single-threaded benchmark.

Is this the right place to add the flags? Should we also do this for all the other benchmarks?

Summary:
My msys instance at least reports MINGW instead of MSYS for uname.
This commit adjusts the regex to match either one.

Without this some errors occur because of missing .exe extensions in
file names.

The logic for this was ripped out of GHC quite some time ago.

It's likely that $(HC) won't have all the packages installed that
we need to compile nofib-analyse. Whatever ghc is in the path is a
better bet.

Only use it in benchmarks that use arrays

We don't build any docs in nofib

It looks like it wasn't working anyway.

We now do something similar to what the testsuite does.

It was always YES anyway

It no longer exists

This is what we recommend people to use for best performance, so we
should use it in our benchmarks.

	.gitignore

To make batch linking work now that haskell98 is not automatically linked.

mkdepenC has gone away, and we don't care about C sources in nofib anyway
