This commit implements the proposal in
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/29 and
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/35.

Here are some of the pieces of that proposal:

* Some of RuntimeRep's constructors have been shortened.

* TupleRep and SumRep are now parameterized over a list of RuntimeReps.
* This
means that two types with the same kind surely have the same
representation.
Previously, all unboxed tuples had the same kind, and thus the fact
above was
false.

* RepType.typePrimRep and friends now return a *list* of PrimReps. These
functions can now work successfully on unboxed tuples. This change is
necessary because we allow abstraction over unboxed tuple types and so
cannot
always handle unboxed tuples specially as we did before.

* We sometimes have to create an Id from a PrimRep. I thus split PtrRep
* into
LiftedRep and UnliftedRep, so that the created Ids have the right
strictness.

* The RepType.RepType type was removed, as it didn't seem to help with
* much.

* The RepType.repType function is also removed, in favor of typePrimRep.

* I have waffled a good deal on whether or not to keep VoidRep in
TyCon.PrimRep. In the end, I decided to keep it there. PrimRep is *not*
represented in RuntimeRep, and typePrimRep will never return a list
including
VoidRep. But it's handy to have in, e.g., ByteCodeGen and friends. I can
imagine another design choice where we have a PrimRepV type that is
PrimRep
with an extra constructor. That seemed to be a heavier design, though,
and I'm
not sure what the benefit would be.

* The last, unused vestiges of # (unliftedTypeKind) have been removed.

* There were several pretty-printing bugs that this change exposed;
* these are fixed.

* We previously checked for levity polymorphism in the types of binders.
* But we
also must exclude levity polymorphism in function arguments. This is
hard to check
for, requiring a good deal of care in the desugarer. See Note [Levity
polymorphism
checking] in DsMonad.

* In order to efficiently check for levity polymorphism in functions, it
* was necessary
to add a new bit of IdInfo. See Note [Levity info] in IdInfo.

* It is now safe for unlifted types to be unsaturated in Core. Core Lint
* is updated
accordingly.

* We can only know strictness after zonking, so several checks around
* strictness
in the type-checker (checkStrictBinds, the check for unlifted variables
under a ~
pattern) have been moved to the desugarer.

* Along the way, I improved the treatment of unlifted vs. banged
* bindings. See
Note [Strict binds checks] in DsBinds and #13075.

* Now that we print type-checked source, we must be careful to print
* ConLikes correctly.
This is facilitated by a new HsConLikeOut constructor to HsExpr.
Particularly troublesome
are unlifted pattern synonyms that get an extra void# argument.

* Includes a submodule update for haddock, getting rid of #.

* New testcases:
  typecheck/should_fail/StrictBinds
  typecheck/should_fail/T12973
  typecheck/should_run/StrictPats
  typecheck/should_run/T12809
  typecheck/should_fail/T13105
  patsyn/should_fail/UnliftedPSBind
  typecheck/should_fail/LevPolyBounded
  typecheck/should_compile/T12987
  typecheck/should_compile/T11736

* Fixed tickets:
  #12809
  #12973
  #11736
  #13075
  #12987

* This also adds a test case for #13105. This test case is
* "compile_fail" and
succeeds, because I want the testsuite to monitor the error message.
When #13105 is fixed, the test case will compile cleanly.

Summary:
At the moment, data and type declarations using infix formatting produce the
same AST as those using prefix.

So

    type a ++ b = c

and

    type (++) a b = c

cannot be distinguished in the parsed source, without looking at the OccName
details of the constructor being defined.

Having access to the OccName requires an additional constraint which explodes
out over the entire AST because of its recursive definitions.

In keeping with moving the parsed source to more directly reflect the source
code as parsed, add a specific flag to the declaration to indicate the fixity,
as used in a Match now too.

Note: this flag is to capture the fixity used for the lexical definition of the
type, primarily for use by ppr and ghc-exactprint.

Updates haddock submodule.

Summary:
Add prettyprinter tests, which take a file, parse it, pretty print it,
re-parse the pretty printed version and then compare the original and
new ASTs (ignoring locations)

Updates haddock submodule to match the AST changes.

There are three issues outstanding

1. Extra parens around a context are not reproduced. This will require an
   AST change and will be done in a separate patch.

2. Currently if an `HsTickPragma` is found, this is not pretty-printed,
   to prevent noise in the output.

   I am not sure what the desired behaviour in this case is, so have left
   it as before. Test Ppr047 is marked as expected fail for this.

3. Apart from in a context, the ParsedSource AST keeps all the parens from
   the original source.  Something is happening in the renamer to remove the
   parens around visible type application, causing T12530 to fail, as the
   dumped splice decl is after the renamer.

   This needs to be fixed by keeping the parens, but I do not know where they
   are being removed.  I have amended the test to pass, by removing the parens
   in the expected output.

Just pointers about where to look in the source code.

Summary:
This patch implements primitive unboxed sum types, as described in
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/UnpackedSumTypes.

Main changes are:

- Add new syntax for unboxed sums types, terms and patterns. Hidden
  behind `-XUnboxedSums`.

- Add unlifted unboxed sum type constructors and data constructors,
  extend type and pattern checkers and desugarer.

- Add new RuntimeRep for unboxed sums.

- Extend unarise pass to translate unboxed sums to unboxed tuples right
  before code generation.

- Add `StgRubbishArg` to `StgArg`, and a new type `CmmArg` for better
  code generation when sum values are involved.

- Add user manual section for unboxed sums.

Some other changes:

- Generalize `UbxTupleRep` to `MultiRep` and `UbxTupAlt` to
  `MultiValAlt` to be able to use those with both sums and tuples.

- Don't use `tyConPrimRep` in `isVoidTy`: `tyConPrimRep` is really
  wrong, given an `Any` `TyCon`, there's no way to tell what its kind
  is, but `kindPrimRep` and in turn `tyConPrimRep` returns `PtrRep`.

- Fix some bugs on the way: #12375.

Not included in this patch:

- Update Haddock for new the new unboxed sum syntax.

- `TemplateHaskell` support is left as future work.

For reviewers:

- Front-end code is mostly trivial and adapted from unboxed tuple code
  for type checking, pattern checking, renaming, desugaring etc.

- Main translation routines are in `RepType` and `UnariseStg`.
  Documentation in `UnariseStg` should be enough for understanding
  what's going on.

Credits:

- Johan Tibell wrote the initial front-end and interface file
  extensions.

- Simon Peyton Jones reviewed this patch many times, wrote some code,
  and helped with debugging.

Provoked by Trac #11948, this patch adds a new warning to GHC

  -Wsimplifiable-class-constraints

It warns if you write a class constraint in a type signature that
can be simplified by an existing instance declaration.  Almost always
this means you should simplify it right now; type inference is very
fragile without it, as #11948 shows.

I've put the warning as on-by-default, but I suppose that if there are
howls of protest we can move it out (as happened for -Wredundant-constraints.

It actually found an example of an over-complicated context in CmmNode.

Quite a few tests use these weird contexts to trigger something else,
so I had to suppress the warning in those.

The 'haskeline' library has a few occurrences of the warning (which
I think should be fixed), so I switched it off for that library in
warnings.mk.

The warning itself is done in TcValidity.check_class_pred.

HOWEVER, when type inference fails we get a type error; and the error
suppresses the (informative) warning.  So as things stand, the warning
only happens when it doesn't cause a problem.  Not sure what to do
about this, but this patch takes us forward, I think.

Summary:
In the past the canonical way for constructing an SDoc string literal was the
composition `ptext . sLit`.  But for some time now we have function `text` that
does the same.  Plus it has some rules that optimize its runtime behaviour.
This patch takes all uses of `ptext . sLit` in the compiler and replaces them
with calls to `text`.  The main benefits of this patch are clener (shorter) code
and less dependencies between module, because many modules now do not need to
import `FastString`.  I don't expect any performance benefits - we mostly use
SDocs to report errors and it seems there is little to be gained here.

GHC Trac Issues: #11430

Summary:
(Apologies for the size of this patch, I couldn't make a smaller one
that was validate-clean and also made sense independently)

(Some of this code is derived from GHCJS.)

This commit adds support for running interpreted code (for GHCi and
TemplateHaskell) in a separate process.  The functionality is
experimental, so for now it is off by default and enabled by the flag
-fexternal-interpreter.

Reaosns we want this:

* compiling Template Haskell code with -prof does not require
  building the code without -prof first

* when GHC itself is profiled, it can interpret unprofiled code, and
  the same applies to dynamic linking.  We would no longer need to
  force -dynamic-too with TemplateHaskell, and we can load ordinary
  objects into a dynamically-linked GHCi (and vice versa).

* An unprofiled GHCi can load and run profiled code, which means it
  can use the stack-trace functionality provided by profiling without
  taking the performance hit on the compiler that profiling would
  entail.

Amongst other things; see
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/RemoteGHCi for more details.

Notes on the implementation are in Note [Remote GHCi] in the new
module compiler/ghci/GHCi.hs.  It probably needs more documenting,
feel free to suggest things I could elaborate on.

Things that are not currently implemented for -fexternal-interpreter:

* The GHCi debugger
* :set prog, :set args in GHCi
* `recover` in Template Haskell
* Redirecting stdin/stdout for the external process

These are all doable, I just wanted to get to a working validate-clean
patch first.

I also haven't done any benchmarking yet.  I expect there to be slight hit
to link times for byte code and some penalty due to having to
serialize/deserialize TH syntax, but I don't expect it to be a serious
problem.  There's also lots of low-hanging fruit in the byte code
generator/linker that we could exploit to speed things up.

Test Plan:
* validate
* I've run parts of the test suite with
EXTRA_HC_OPTS=-fexternal-interpreter, notably tests/ghci and tests/th.
There are a few failures due to the things not currently implemented
(see above).

This implements the ideas originally put forward in
"System FC with Explicit Kind Equality" (ICFP'13).

There are several noteworthy changes with this patch:
 * We now have casts in types. These change the kind
   of a type. See new constructor `CastTy`.

 * All types and all constructors can be promoted.
   This includes GADT constructors. GADT pattern matches
   take place in type family equations. In Core,
   types can now be applied to coercions via the
   `CoercionTy` constructor.

 * Coercions can now be heterogeneous, relating types
   of different kinds. A coercion proving `t1 :: k1 ~ t2 :: k2`
   proves both that `t1` and `t2` are the same and also that
   `k1` and `k2` are the same.

 * The `Coercion` type has been significantly enhanced.
   The documentation in `docs/core-spec/core-spec.pdf` reflects
   the new reality.

 * The type of `*` is now `*`. No more `BOX`.

 * Users can write explicit kind variables in their code,
   anywhere they can write type variables. For backward compatibility,
   automatic inference of kind-variable binding is still permitted.

 * The new extension `TypeInType` turns on the new user-facing
   features.

 * Type families and synonyms are now promoted to kinds. This causes
   trouble with parsing `*`, leading to the somewhat awkward new
   `HsAppsTy` constructor for `HsType`. This is dispatched with in
   the renamer, where the kind `*` can be told apart from a
   type-level multiplication operator. Without `-XTypeInType` the
   old behavior persists. With `-XTypeInType`, you need to import
   `Data.Kind` to get `*`, also known as `Type`.

 * The kind-checking algorithms in TcHsType have been significantly
   rewritten to allow for enhanced kinds.

 * The new features are still quite experimental and may be in flux.

 * TODO: Several open tickets: #11195, #11196, #11197, #11198, #11203.

 * TODO: Update user manual.

Tickets addressed: #9017, #9173, #7961, #10524, #8566, #11142.
Updates Haddock submodule.

This patch does some signficant refactoring to the treatment
of default methods in class declarations, and more generally
to the type checking of type/class decls.

Highlights:

* When the class has a generic-default method, such as
     class C a where
       op :: a -> a -> Bool
       default op :: Ord a => a -> a -> a
  the ClassOpItem records the type of the generic-default,
  in this case the type (Ord a => a -> a -> a)

* I killed off Class.DefMeth in favour of the very-similar
  BasicTypes.DefMethSpec.  However it turned out to be better
  to use a Maybe, thus
      Maybe (DefMethSpec Type)
  with Nothing meaning "no default method".

* In TcTyClsDecls.tcTyClGroup, we used to accumulate a [TyThing],
  but I found a way to make it much simpler, accumulating only
  a [TyCon].  Much less wrapping and unwrapping.

* On the way I also fixed Trac #10896 in a better way. Instead
  of killing off all ambiguity checks whenever there are any type
  errors (the fix in commit 8e8b9ed9), I instead recover in
  TcTyClsDecls.checkValidTyCl.

There was a lot of associated simplification all round

Summary:
Phab:D907 introduced SourceText for a number of data types, by replacing
FastString with (SourceText,FastString). Since this has an Outputable
instance, no warnings are generated when ppr is called on it, but
unexpected output is generated. See Phab:D1096 for an example of this.

Replace the (SourceText,FastString) tuples with a new data type,
```lang=hs
data StringLiteral = StringLiteral SourceText FastString
```

GHC Trac Issues: #10692

competesWith is a very recent function, introduced in:

  Author: Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj@microsoft.com>
  Date:   Fri Jul 24 12:50:42 2015 +0100

      Improve warnings for rules that might not fire

Two main things here

* Previously we only warned about the "head" function of the rule,
  but actually the warning applies to any free variable on the LHS.

* We now warn not only when one of these free vars can inline, but
  also if it has an active RULE (c.f. Trac #10528)

See Note [Rules and inlining/other rules] in Desugar

This actually shows up quite a few warnings in the libraries, notably
in Control.Arrow, where it correctly points out that rules like
    "compose/arr"   forall f g .
                    (arr f) . (arr g) = arr (f . g)
might never fire, because the rule for 'arr' (dictionary selection)
might fire first.  I'm not really sure what to do here; there is some
discussion in Trac #10595.

A minor change is adding BasicTypes.pprRuleName to pretty-print RuleName.

I wasn't very happy with my fix to Trac #10009. This is much better.

The main idea is that the inert set now contains a "model", which
embodies *all* the (nominal) equalities that we know about, with
a view to exposing unifications.  This requires a lot fewer iterations
of the solver than before.

There are extensive comments in
 TcSMonad:  Note [inert_model: the inert model]
            Note [Adding an inert canonical constraint the InertCans]

The big changes are

  * New inert_model field in InertCans

  * Functions addInertEq, addInertCan deal with adding a
    constraint, maintaining the model

  * A nice improvement is that unification variables can
    unify with fmvs, so that from, say   alpha ~ fmv
    we get              alpha := fmv
    See Note [Orientation of equalities with fmvs] in TcFlatten
    It's still not perfect, as the Note explains

New flag -fconstraint-solver-iterations=n, allows us to control
the number of constraint solver iterations, and in particular
will flag up when it's more than a small number.

Performance is generally slightly better:
T5837 is a lot better for some reason.

Summary:
The strings used in a WARNING pragma are captured via

    strings :: { Located ([AddAnn],[Located FastString]) }
        : STRING { sL1 $1 ([],[L (gl $1) (getSTRING $1)]) }
    ..

The STRING token has a method getSTRINGs that returns the original
source text for a string.

A warning of the form

    {-# WARNING Logic
              , mkSolver
              , mkSimpleSolver
              , mkSolverForLogic

              \you may experience segmentation faults!"
      #-}

returns the concatenated warning string rather than the original source.

This patch now deals with all remaining instances of getSTRING to bring
in a SourceText for each.

This updates the haddock submodule as well, for the AST change.

Make tuple constraints be handled by a perfectly ordinary
type class, with the component constraints being the

    class (c1, c2) => (c2, c2)

This change was provoked by

  #10359  inability to re-use a given tuple

  #9858   confusion between term tuples

but it's generally a very nice simplification. We get rid of
 -  In Type, the TuplePred constructor of PredTree,
    and all the code that dealt with TuplePreds
 -  In TcEvidence, the constructors EvTupleMk, EvTupleSel

See Note [How tuples work] in TysWiredIn.

Of course, nothing is ever entirely simple. This one
proved quite fiddly.

- I did quite a bit of renaming, which makes this patch
  touch a lot of modules. In partiuclar tupleCon -> tupleDataCon.

- I made constraint tuples known-key rather than wired-in.
  This is different to boxed/unboxed tuples, but it proved
  awkward to have all the superclass selectors wired-in.
  Easier just to use the standard mechanims.

- While I was fiddling with known-key names, I split the TH Name
  definitions out of DsMeta into a new module THNames.  That meant
  that the known-key names can all be gathered in PrelInfo, without
  causing module loops.

- I found that the parser was parsing an import item like
      T( .. )
  as a *data constructor* T, and then using setRdrNameSpace to
  fix it.  Stupid!  So I changed the parser to parse a *type
  constructor* T, which means less use of setRdrNameSpace.

  I also improved setRdrNameSpace to behave better on Exact Names.
  Largely on priciple; I don't think it matters a lot.

- When compiling a data type declaration for a wired-in thing like

These break the build by causing Haddock to fail mysteriously when
trying to examine GHC.Prim it seems.

Make tuple constraints be handled by a perfectly ordinary
type class, with the component constraints being the
superclasses:
    class (c1, c2) => (c2, c2)

This change was provoked by

  #10359  inability to re-use a given tuple
          constraint as a whole

  #9858   confusion between term tuples
          and constraint tuples

but it's generally a very nice simplification. We get rid of
 -  In Type, the TuplePred constructor of PredTree,
    and all the code that dealt with TuplePreds
 -  In TcEvidence, the constructors EvTupleMk, EvTupleSel

See Note [How tuples work] in TysWiredIn.

Of course, nothing is ever entirely simple. This one
proved quite fiddly.

- I did quite a bit of renaming, which makes this patch
  touch a lot of modules. In partiuclar tupleCon -> tupleDataCon.

- I made constraint tuples known-key rather than wired-in.
  This is different to boxed/unboxed tuples, but it proved
  awkward to have all the superclass selectors wired-in.
  Easier just to use the standard mechanims.

- While I was fiddling with known-key names, I split the TH Name
  definitions out of DsMeta into a new module THNames.  That meant
  that the known-key names can all be gathered in PrelInfo, without
  causing module loops.

- I found that the parser was parsing an import item like
      T( .. )
  as a *data constructor* T, and then using setRdrNameSpace to
  fix it.  Stupid!  So I changed the parser to parse a *type
  constructor* T, which means less use of setRdrNameSpace.

  I also improved setRdrNameSpace to behave better on Exact Names.
  Largely on priciple; I don't think it matters a lot.

- When compiling a data type declaration for a wired-in thing like
  tuples (,), or lists, we don't really need to look at the
  declaration.  We have the wired-in thing!  And not doing so avoids
  having to line up the uniques for data constructor workers etc.

This implements (roughly) the plan put forward in comment:14:ticket:7788,
fixing #7788, #8550, #9554, #10139, and addressing concerns raised in #10079.
There are some regressions w.r.t. GHC 7.8, but only with pathological type
families (like F a = F a). This also (hopefully -- don't have a test case)
fixes #10158. Unsolved problems include #10184 and #10185, which are both
known deficiencies of the approach used here.

As part of this change, the plumbing around detecting infinite loops has
changed. Instead of -fcontext-stack and -ftype-function-depth, we now have
one combined -freduction-depth parameter. Setting it to 0 disbales the
check, which is now the recommended way to get (terminating) code to
typecheck in releases. (The number of reduction steps may well change between
minor GHC releases!)

This commit also introduces a new IntWithInf type in BasicTypes
that represents an integer+infinity. This type is used in a few
places throughout the code.

GHC Trac Issues: #9986

Summary:
Add a reference note to each AnnKeywordId haddock comment so GHC
developers will have an idea why they are there.

Add a new test to ghc-api/annotations to serve as a template for other
GHC developers when they need to update the parser. It provides output
which checks that each SrcSpan that an annotation is attached to
actually appears in the `ParsedSource`, and lists the individual
annotations. The idea is that a developer writes a version of this
which parses a sample file using whatever syntax is changed in
Parser.y, and can then check that all the annotations come through.

The idea was promted by Trac #9939, but it was Christmas, so I did
some recreational programming that went much further.

The idea is to warn when a constraint in a user-supplied context is
redundant.  Everything is described in detail in
  Note [Tracking redundant constraints]
in TcSimplify.

Main changes:

 * The new ic_status field in an implication, of type ImplicStatus.
   It replaces ic_insol, and includes information about redundant
   constraints.

 * New function TcSimplify.setImplicationStatus sets the ic_status.

 * TcSigInfo has sig_report_redundant field to say whenther a
   redundant constraint should be reported; and similarly
   the FunSigCtxt constructor of UserTypeCtxt

 * EvBinds has a field eb_is_given, to record whether it is a given
   or wanted binding. Some consequential chagnes to creating an evidence
   binding (so that we record whether it is given or wanted).

 * AbsBinds field abs_ev_binds is now a *list* of TcEvBiinds;
   see Note [Typechecking plan for instance declarations] in
   TcInstDcls

 * Some significant changes to the type checking of instance
   declarations; Note [Typechecking plan for instance declarations]
   in TcInstDcls.

 * I found that TcErrors.relevantBindings was failing to zonk the
   origin of the constraint it was looking at, and hence failing to
   find some relevant bindings.  Easy to fix, and orthogonal to
   everything else, but hard to disentangle.

Some minor refactorig:

 * TcMType.newSimpleWanteds moves to Inst, renamed as newWanteds

 * TcClassDcl and TcInstDcls now have their own code for typechecking
   a method body, rather than sharing a single function. The shared
   function (ws TcClassDcl.tcInstanceMethodBody) didn't have much code
   and the differences were growing confusing.

 * Add new function TcRnMonad.pushLevelAndCaptureConstraints, and
   use it

 * Add new function Bag.catBagMaybes, and use it in TcSimplify

This adds a way by which we can make sure that the Core passes treat
annotations right: We run them twice and compare the results.

The main problem here is that Core equivalence is awkward: We do not
want the comparison to care about the order of, say, top-level or
recursive bindings. This is important even if GHC generally generates
the bindings in the right order - after all, if something goes wrong
we don't want linting to dump out the whole program as the offense.

So instead we do some heuristic matching - first greedily match
everything that's easy, then match the rest by label order. This
should work as long as GHC generates the labels in roughly the same
order for both pass runs.  In practice it seems to work alright.

We also check that IdInfos match, as this might cause hard-to-spot
bugs down the line (I had at least one bug because unfolding guidance
didn't match!). We especially check unfoldings up until the point
where it might get us into an infinite loop.
