When using -fdicts-strict we generate references to absentError while
compiling ghc-prim. However we always load ghc-prim before base so this
caused linker errors.

We simply solve this by moving absentError into ghc-prim. This does mean
it's now a panic instead of an exception which can no longer be caught.
But given that it should only be thrown if there is a compiler error
that seems acceptable, and in fact we already do this for
absentSumFieldError which has similar constraints.
