Make unsafeDupablePerformIO have a lazy demand
When a user writes code like: unsafePerformIO $ do let x = f x writeIORef ref x return x We might expect that the write happens before we evaluate `f x`. Sadly this wasn't to case for reasons detailed in #19181. We fix this by avoiding the strict demand by turning: unsafeDupablePerformIO (IO m) = case runRW# m of (# _, a #) -> a into unsafeDupablePerformIO (IO m) = case runRW# m of (# _, a #) -> lazy a This makes the above code lazy in x. And ensures the side effect of the write happens before the evaluation of `f x`. If a user *wants* the code to be strict on the returned value he can simply use `return $! x`. This fixes #19181
