This implements Proposal 0475, introducing the `ListTuplePuns` extension which is enabled by default. Disabling this extension makes it invalid to refer to list, tuple and sum type constructors by using built-in syntax like `[Int]`, `(Int, Int)`, `(# Int#, Int# #)` or `(# Int | Int #)`. Instead, this syntax exclusively denotes data constructors for use with `DataKinds`. The conventional way of referring to these data constructors by prefixing them with a single quote (`'(Int, Int)`) is now a parser error. Tuple declarations have been moved to `GHC.Tuple.Prim` and the `Solo` data constructor has been renamed to `MkSolo` (in a previous commit). Unboxed tuples and sums now have real source declarations in `GHC.Types`. Unit and solo types for tuples are now called `Unit`, `Unit#`, `Solo` and `Solo#`. Constraint tuples now have the unambiguous type constructors `CTuple<n>` as well as `CUnit` and `CSolo`, defined in `GHC.Classes` like before. A new parser construct has been added for the unboxed sum data constructor declarations. The type families `Tuple`, `Sum#` etc. that were intended to provide nicer syntax have been omitted from this change set due to inference problems, to be implemented at a later time. See the MR discussion for more info. Updates the submodule utils/haddock. Updates the cabal submodule due to new language extension.
