Simplifier depends on typechecker in two points: `thNameToGhcName` (`lookupThName_maybe`, in particular) and `lookupGlobal`. We want to cut the ties in two steps. 1. (Presented in this commit), reimplement both functions in a way that doesn't use typechecker. 2. (Should follow), do code moving: a) `lookupGlobal` should go in some typechecker-free place; b) `thNameToGhcName` should leave simplifier, because it is not used there at all (probably, it should be placed somewhere where `GhcPlugins` can see it -- this is suggested by Joachim on Trac). Details ======= We redesigned lookup interface a bit so that it exposes some `IO`-equivalents of `Tc`-features in use. First, `CoreMonad.hs` still calls `lookupGlobal` which is no longer bound to the typechecker monad, but still resides in `TcEnv.hs` — it should be moved out of Tc-land at some point (“Phase 2”) in the future in order to achieve its part of the #14391's goal. Second, `lookupThName_maybe` is eliminated from `CoreMonad.hs` completely; this already achieves its part of the goal of #14391. Its client, though, `thNameToGhcName`, is better to be moved in the future also, for it is not used in the `CoreMonad.hs` (or anywhere else) anyway. Joachim suggested “any module reexported by GhcPlugins (or maybe even that module itself)”. As a side goal, we removed `initTcForLookup` which was instrumental for the past version of `lookupGlobal`. This, in turn, called for pushing some more parts of the lookup interface from the `Tc`-monad to `IO`, most notably, adding `IO`-version of `lookupOrig` and pushing `dataConInfoPtrToName` to `IO`. The `lookupOrig` part, in turn, triggered a slight redesign of name cache updating interface: we now have both, `updNameCacheIO` and `updNameCacheTc`, both accepting `mod` and `occ` to force them inside, instead of more error-prone outside before. But all these hardly have to do anything with #14391, mere refactoring.
