Fix array and cleanup conversion primops (#19026)

Sylvain Henry authored 4 years ago

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

GHC Testsuite Readme

For the full testsuite documentation, please see here.

Quick Guide

Commands to run testsuite:

Full testsuite: make
Using more threads: make THREADS=12
Reduced (fast) testsuite: make fast
Run a specific test: make TEST=tc054
Test a specific 'way': make WAY=optllvm
Keeping the run directory after test run: make CLEANUP=0. You will find a directory {test_name}.run in the test's source directory.
Test a specific stage of GHC: make stage=1
Skip performance tests: make SKIP_PERF_TESTS=YES
Set verbosity: make VERBOSE=n where n=0: No per-test output, n=1: Only failures, n=2: Progress output, n=3: Include commands called (default), n=4: Include perf test results unconditionally, n=5: Echo commands in subsidiary make invocations
Pass in extra GHC options: make EXTRA_HC_OPTS=-fvectorize

You can also change directory to a specific test folder to run that individual test or group of tests. For example:

$ cd tests/array
$ make

Testsuite Ways

The testsuite can be run in a variety of 'ways'. This concept refers to different ways that GHC can compile the code. For example, using the native code generator (-fasm) is one way, while using the LLVM code generator (-fllvm) is another way.

The various ways that GHC supports are defined in config/ghc
