This patch fixes a fairly long-standing bug (dating back to 2015) in RdrName.bestImport, namely commit 9376249b Author: Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj@microsoft.com> Date: Wed Oct 28 17:16:55 2015 +0000 Fix unused-import stuff in a better way In that patch got the sense of the comparison back to front, and thereby failed to implement the unused-import rules described in Note [Choosing the best import declaration] in RdrName This led to Trac #13064 and #15393 Fixing this bug revealed a bunch of unused imports in libraries; the ones in the GHC repo are part of this commit. The two important changes are * Fix the bug in bestImport * Modified the rules by adding (a) in Note [Choosing the best import declaration] in RdrName Reason: the previosu rules made Trac #5211 go bad again. And the new rule (a) makes sense to me. In unravalling this I also ended up doing a few other things * Refactor RnNames.ImportDeclUsage to use a [GlobalRdrElt] for the things that are used, rather than [AvailInfo]. This is simpler and more direct. * Rename greParentName to greParent_maybe, to follow GHC naming conventions * Delete dead code RdrName.greUsedRdrName Bumps a few submodules.
