Improve aggressive specialisation
This patch fixes #21286, by not unboxing dictionaries in worker/wrapper (ever). The main payload is tiny: * In `GHC.Core.Opt.DmdAnal.finaliseArgBoxities`, do not unbox dictionaries in `get_dmd`. See Note [Do not unbox class dictionaries] in that module * I also found that imported wrappers were being fruitlessly specialised, so I fixed that too, in canSpecImport. See Note [Specialising imported functions] point (2). In doing due diligence in the testsuite I fixed a number of other things: * Improve Note [Specialising unfoldings] in GHC.Core.Unfold.Make, and Note [Inline specialisations] in GHC.Core.Opt.Specialise, and remove duplication between the two. The new Note describes how we specialise functions with an INLINABLE pragma. And simplify the defn of `spec_unf` in `GHC.Core.Opt.Specialise.specCalls`. * Improve Note [Worker/wrapper for INLINABLE functions] in GHC.Core.Opt.WorkWrap. And (critially) make an actual change which is to propagate the user-written pragma from the original function to the wrapper; see `mkStrWrapperInlinePrag`. * Write new Note [Specialising imported functions] in GHC.Core.Opt.Specialise All this has a big effect on some compile times.
