Model divergence of retry# as ThrowsExn, not Diverges
The demand signature of the retry# primop previously had a Diverges result. However, this caused the demand analyser to conclude that a program of the shape, catchRetry# (... >> retry#) would diverge. Of course, this is plainly wrong; catchRetry#'s sole reason to exist is to "catch" the "exception" thrown by retry#. While catchRetry#'s demand signature correctly had the ExnStr flag set on its first argument, indicating that it should catch divergence, the logic associated with this flag doesn't apply to Diverges results. This resulted in #14171. The solution here is to treat the divergence of retry# as an exception. Namely, give it a result type of ThrowsExn rather than Diverges. Updates stm submodule for tests. Test Plan: Validate with T14171 Reviewers: simonpj, austin Subscribers: rwbarton, thomie GHC Trac Issues: #14171, #8091 Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D3919
