Generalize CmmUnwind and pass unwind information through NCG
As discussed in D1532, Trac Trac #11337, and Trac Trac #11338, the stack
unwinding information produced by GHC is currently quite approximate.
Essentially we assume that register values do not change at all within a
basic block. While this is somewhat true in normal Haskell code, blocks
containing foreign calls often break this assumption. This results in
unreliable call stacks, especially in the code containing foreign calls.
This is worse than it sounds as unreliable unwinding information can at
times result in segmentation faults.
This patch set attempts to improve this situation by tracking unwinding
information with finer granularity. By dispensing with the assumption of
one unwinding table per block, we allow the compiler to accurately
represent the areas surrounding foreign calls.
Towards this end we generalize the representation of unwind information
in the backend in three ways,
* Multiple CmmUnwind nodes can occur per block
* CmmUnwind nodes can now carry unwind information for multiple
registers (while not strictly necessary; this makes emitting
unwinding information a bit more convenient in the compiler)
* The NCG backend is given an opportunity to modify the unwinding
records since it may need to make adjustments due to, for instance,
native calling convention requirements for foreign calls (see
#11353).
This sets the stage for resolving #11337 and #11338.
