Before this commit, GHC only supported LLVM 3.6. Now it only supports
LLVM 3.7 which was released in August 2015. LLVM version 3.6 and earlier
do not work on AArch64/Arm64, but 3.7 does.

Also:
* Add CC_Ghc constructor to LlvmCallConvention.
* Replace `maxSupportLlvmVersion`/`minSupportLlvmVersion` with
  a single `supportedLlvmVersion` variable.
* Get `supportedLlvmVersion` from version specified in configure.ac.
* Drop llvmVersion field from DynFlags (no longer needed because only
  one version is supported).

Test Plan: Validate on x86_64 and arm

The previous users' guide documentation was too implementation-oriented. This
attempts to make it more accessible to those who aren't familiar with how
`-XDeriveFunctor` and friends work (and more importantly, what will not work
when using them).

Fixes #10831.

GHC Trac Issues: #10831

Currently, GHC's warning generation code is assuming that a name (`RdrName`)
can be imported at most once. This is a correct assumption, because 1) it's OK
to import same names as long as we don't use any of them 2) when we use one of
them, GHC generates an error because it doesn't disambiguate it automatically.

But apparently the story is different with typeclass methods. If I import two
methods with same names, it's OK to use them in typeclass instance
declarations, because the context specifies which one to use. For example, this
is OK (where modules A and B define typeclasses A and B, both with a function
has),

    import A
    import B

    data Blah = Blah

    instance A Blah where
      has = Blah

    instance B Blah where
      has = Blah

But GHC's warning generator is not taking this into account, and so if I change
import list of this program to:

    import A (A (has))
    import B (B (has))

GHC is printing these warnings:

    Main.hs:5:1: Warning:
        The import of ‘A.has’ from module ‘A’ is redundant

    Main.hs:6:1: Warning:
        The import of ‘B.has’ from module ‘B’ is redundant

Why? Because warning generation code is _silently_ ignoring multiple symbols
with same names.

With this patch, GHC takes this into account. If there's only one name, then
this patch reduces to the previous version, that is, it works exactly the same
as current GHC (thanks goes to @quchen for realizing this).

GHC Trac Issues: #10890

Trac #10796 exposes a way to make `template-haskell`'s `dataToQa` function
freak out if using a `Data` instance that produces a `Constr` (by means of
`toConstr`) using a function name instead of a data constructor name. While
such `Data` instances are somewhat questionable, they are nevertheless present
in popular libraries (e.g., `containers`), so we can at least make `dataToQa`
aware of their existence.

In order to properly distinguish strings which represent variables (as opposed
to data constructors), it was necessary to move functionality from `Lexeme` (in
`ghc`) to `GHC.Lexeme` in a new `ghc-boot` library (which was previously named
`bin-package-db`).

HERMIT users depend on RULES to specify equational properties. 7.10.2
performed both inlining and simplification in both sides of the rules, meaning
they can't really be used for this. This breaks most HERMIT use cases.  A
separate commit already disabled this for the LHS of rules. This does so for
the RHS.

This patch is driven by Trac #10935, and reinstates the
-fwarn-monomorphism-restriction warning.  It was first lost in 2010:
d2ce0f52 "Super-monster patch implementing the new typechecker -- at
last"

I think the existing documentation is accurate; it is not even
turned on by -Wall.

I added one test.

This refactors `(>>)`/`(*>)`/`return`/`pure` methods into normal form.

The redundant explicit `return` method definitions are dropped
altogether.

The explicit `(>>) = (*>)` definitions can't be removed yet, as
the default implementation of `(>>)` is still in terms of `(*>)`
(even though that should have been changed according to the AMP but
wasn't -- see note in GHC.Base for details why this had to be postponed)

A nofib comparision shows this refactoring to result in minor runtime
improvements (unless those are within normal measurement fluctuations):

        Program           Size    Allocs   Runtime   Elapsed  TotalMem

This can happen because the underlying primitive operations in
`integer-gmp` don't support negative shift-amounts, and since
`integer-gmp` can't throw proper exceptions and just provides a
low-level API, it simply segfaults instead...

This patch simply removes the `shift{L,R}` method definitions (and
defines `unsafeShift{L,R}` instead) whose default-impls fallback on
using `shift` which properly handles negative shift arguments.

Summary:
Instead of doing these warnings at MkIface time, we do them
when we create the instances/rules in the typechecker/desugarer.

Emitting warnings for auto-generated instances was a pain
(since the specialization monad doesn't have the capacity
to emit warnings) so instead I just deprecated -fwarn-auto-orphans.
Auto rule orphans are pretty harmless anyway: they don't cause
interface files to be eagerly loaded in.

Among doing other things, Phab:D201 (bc2289e1)
tried to improve the error messages thrown by the parser. For example a missing
else clause now prints "parse error in if statement: else clause empty" instead
of "parse error (possibly incorrect indentation or mismatched brackets)".

Some error messages got much worse however (see tests), and the result seems to
be a net negative. Although not entirely satisfactory, this commits therefore
reverts those parser changes.
