Add RubbishLit for absent bindings of UnliftedRep
Summary: Trac #9279 reminded us that the worker wrapper transformation copes really badly with absent unlifted boxed bindings. As `Note [Absent errors]` in WwLib.hs points out, we can't just use `absentError` for unlifted bindings because there is no bottom to hide the error in. So instead, we synthesise a new `RubbishLit` of type `forall (a :: TYPE 'UnliftedRep). a`, which code-gen may subsitute for any boxed value. We choose `()`, so that there is a good chance that the program crashes instead instead of leading to corrupt data, should absence analysis have been too optimistic (#11126).
