CPR analysis: Use CPR of scrutinee for Case Binder CPR (#19232)

For years we have lived in a supposedly sweet spot that gave case
binders the CPR property, unconditionally. Which is an optimistic hack
that is now described in `Historical Note [Optimistic case binder CPR]`.

In #19232 the concern was raised that this might do more harm than good
and that might be better off simply by taking the CPR property of the
scrutinee for the CPR type of the case binder. And indeed that's what we
do now.

Since `Note [CPR in a DataAlt case alternative]` is now only about field
binders, I renamed and garbage collected it into
`Note [Optimistic field binder CPR]`.

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

Adding Tests
