    Re-engineer the transition from Core to STG syntax.  Main changes in
      this commit:
    
        - a new pass, CoreSat, handles saturation of constructors and PrimOps,
          and puts the syntax into STG-like normal form (applications to atoms
          only, etc), modulo type applications and Notes.
    
        - CoreToStg is now done at the same time as StgVarInfo.  Most of the
          contents of StgVarInfo.lhs have been copied into CoreToStg.lhs and
          some simplifications made.
    
      less major changes:
    
        - globalisation of names for the purposes of object splitting is
          now done by the C code generator (which is the Right Place in
          principle, but it was a bit fiddly).
    
        - CoreTidy now does cloning of local binders and collection of arity
          info.  The IdInfo from CoreTidy is now *almost* the final IdInfo we
          put in the interface file, except for CafInfo.  I'm going to move
          the CafInfo collection into CoreTidy in due course too.
    
        - and some other minor tidyups while I was in cluster-bomb commit mode.
