I completely rewrote our Notes surrounding eta-reduction. The new entry point is
`Note [Eta reduction makes sense]`.

Then I went on to extend the Simplifier to maintain an evaluation context in the
form of a `SubDemand` inside a `SimplCont`. That `SubDemand` is useful for doing
eta reduction according to `Note [Eta reduction based on evaluation context]`,
which describes how Demand analysis, Simplifier and `tryEtaReduce` interact to
facilitate eta reduction in more scenarios.

Thus we fix #21261.

ghc/alloc perf marginally improves (-0.0%). A medium-sized win is when compiling
T3064 (-3%). It seems that haddock improves by 0.6% to 1.0%, too.
