Improve exprOkForSpeculation for classops
This patch fixes #22745 and #15205, which are about GHC's failure to discard unnecessary superclass selections that yield coercions. See GHC.Core.Utils Note [exprOkForSpeculation and type classes] The main changes are: * Write new Note [NON-BOTTOM_DICTS invariant] in GHC.Core, and refer to it * Define new function isTerminatingType, to identify those guaranteed-terminating dictionary types. * exprOkForSpeculation has a new (very simple) case for ClassOpId * ClassOpId has a new field that says if the return type is an unlifted type, or a terminating type. This was surprisingly tricky to get right. In particular note that unlifted types are not terminating types; you can write an expression of unlifted type, that diverges. Not so for dictionaries (or, more precisely, for the dictionaries that GHC constructs). Metric Decrease: LargeRecord
