The first change makes the array ones use the proper fixed-size types,
which also means that just like before, they can be used without
explicit conversions with the boxed sized types. (Before, it was Int# /
Word# on both sides, now it is fixed sized on both sides).

For the second change, don't use "extend" or "narrow" in some of the
user-facing primops names for conversions.

  - Names like `narrowInt32#` are misleading when `Int` is 32-bits.

  - Names like `extendInt64#` are flat-out wrong when `Int is
    32-bits.

  - `narrow{Int,Word}<N>#` however map a type to itself, and so don't
    suffer from this problem. They are left as-is.

These changes are batched together because Alex happend to use the array
ops. We can only use released versions of Alex at this time, sadly, and
I don't want to have to have a release thatwon't work for the final GHC
9.2. So by combining these we get all the changes for Alex done at once.

Bump hackage state in a few places, and also make that workflow slightly
easier for the future.

Bump minimum Alex version

Bump Cabal, array, bytestring, containers, text, and binary submodules
