This takes care of bumping the `base` and `integer-gmp`
minor version numbers in anticipation of a GHC 8.4.2 release.

While I was in town, I also filled in a `@since TODO` Haddock
annotation for `powModSecInteger` in `integer-gmp` with
`1.0.2.0`, and updated the changelog accordingly.

(cherry picked from commit 8c5405f6)

Updates a number of submodules.

This major commit was initially triggered by #11339, but it spiraled
into a major review of the way in which type signatures for bindings
are handled, especially partial type signatures.  On the way I fixed a
number of other bugs, namely
   #12069
   #12033
   #11700
   #11339
   #11670

The main change is that I completely reorganised the way in which type
signatures in bindings are handled. The new story is in TcSigs
Note [Overview of type signatures].  Some specific:

* Changes in the data types for signatures in TcRnTypes:
  TcIdSigInfo and new TcIdSigInst

* New module TcSigs deals with typechecking type signatures
  and pragmas. It contains code mostly moved from TcBinds,
  which is already too big

* HsTypes: I swapped the nesting of HsWildCardBndrs
  and HsImplicitBndsrs, so that the wildcards are on the
  oustide not the insidde in a LHsSigWcType.  This is just
  a matter of convenient, nothing deep.

There are a host of other changes as knock-on effects, and
it all took FAR longer than I anticipated :-).  But it is
a significant improvement, I think.

Lots of error messages changed slightly, some just variants but
some modest improvements.

New tests

* typecheck/should_compile
    * SigTyVars: a scoped-tyvar test
    * ExPat, ExPatFail: existential pattern bindings
    * T12069
    * T11700
    * T11339

* partial-sigs/should_compile
    * T12033
    * T11339a
    * T11670

One thing to check:

* Small change to output from ghc-api/landmines.
  Need to check with Alan Zimmerman

This also needs to update the primitive/vector submodules in order to
relax upper bounds on ghc-prim.

Like in f8ba4b55, a mass-rewrite in testsuite/ via

  sed -i s,ghc-prim-0.4.0.0,ghc-prim-0.5.0.0,g $(git grep -Fl 'ghc-prim-0.4.0.0')

was performed.

This also relaxes a few upper bounds on base in the ghc.git repo;

This required a mass-rewrite in testsuite/

  sed -i s,base-4.8.2.0,base-4.9.0.0,g $(git grep -Fl 'base-4.8.2.0')

because it turns out the testsuite is still sensitive to package version
changes.

When examining #10615, I found the wildcard handling hard
to understand.  This patch refactors quite a bit, but with
no real change in behaviour.

 * Split out TcIdSigInfo from TcSigInfo, as a separate type,
   like TcPatSynInfo.

 * Make TcIdSigInfo express more invariants by pushing the
   wildard info into TcIdSigBndr

 * Remove all special treatment of unification variables that arise
   from wildcards; so the TauTv of TcType.MetaInfo loses its Bool
   argument.

A ton of konck on changes.  The result is significantly simpler, I think.

This is needed because GHC 7.10.2 requires a minor version bump to base-4.8.1.0

Several test outputs needed base-4.8.1.0 replaced by base-4.8.2.0

We've accumulated enough to justify a minor version bump to 4.8.1.0,
but not enough to justify a major version bump yet as far as I can see.

This major version bump was made necessary by
f44333ea which changed the type
signatures of prefetch primops, as well as other changes
such as 051d694f turning `Any` into
an abstract closed type family.

Summary:
Add support for Partial Type Signatures, i.e. holes in types, see:
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/PartialTypeSignatures

This requires an update to the Haddock submodule.
