This patch adds a check to Core Lint, checkCanEtaExpand, which ensures that primops and other wired-in functions with no binding such as unsafeCoerce#, oneShot, rightSection... can always be eta-expanded, by checking that the remaining argument types have a fixed RuntimeRep. Two subtleties came up: - the notion of arity in Core looks through newtypes, so we may need to unwrap newtypes in this check, - we want to avoid calling hasNoBinding on something whose unfolding we are in the process of linting, as this would cause a loop; to avoid this we add some information to the Core Lint environment that holds this information.
