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 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.

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:

This requires an update to the Haddock submodule.

GHC Trac Issues: #9478

This commit updates several submodules in order to bump
the upper bounds on `base` of most boot packages

Moreover, this updates some of the test-suite cases which have
version numbers hardcoded within.

However, I'm not sure if this commit didn't introduce the following
two test-failures

   ghc-api  T8628 [bad stdout] (normal)
   ghc-api  T8639_api [bad stdout] (normal)

This needs investigation

Summary:
Previously, GHC would look for instances of wired-in packages in the
in-memory package database and null out the version number.  This was
necessary when the sourcePackageId was used to determine the linker
symbols; however, we now use a package key, so only that needs to be
updated.

Long-term, we can remove this hack by ensuring that Cabal actually records
the proper package key in the database.  This will also fix an unrelated
hack elsewhere.

Keeping version numbers means that wired in packages get rendered differently
when output by GHC.  This is the source of all the test-case output changes.

This change also updates castFunPtr to make it free at runtime.
This fixes #9163.

All the initial work on this was done fy 'archblob' (fcsernik@gmail.com);
thank you!

I reviewed the patch, started some tidying, up and then ended up in a huge
swamp of changes, not all of which I can remember now.  But:

* To suppress kind arguments when we have -fno-print-explicit-kinds,
    - IfaceTyConApp argument types are in a tagged list IfaceTcArgs

* To allow overloaded types to be printed with =>, add IfaceDFunTy to IfaceType.

* When printing data/type family instances for the user, I've made them
  print out an informative RHS, which is a new feature. Thus
        ghci> info T
        data family T a
        data instance T Int = T1 Int Int
        data instance T Bool = T2

* In implementation terms, pprIfaceDecl has just one "context" argument,
  of type IfaceSyn.ShowSub, which says
       - How to print the binders of the decl
         see note [Printing IfaceDecl binders] in IfaceSyn
       - Which sub-comoponents (eg constructors) to print

* Moved FastStringEnv from RnEnv to OccName

It all took a ridiculously long time to do.  But it's done!

Many of the files modified are just wibbles to output, because now
tycons have roles attached to them, which are produced in the debugging
dumps.
