Hadrian: Fix untracked dependencies
This is a preparation for #16295: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16295 This commit mostly focuses on getting rid of untracked dependencies, which prevent Shake's new `--shared` feature from appropriately caching build rules. There are three different solutions to untracked dependencies: * Track them! This is the obvious and the best approach, but in some situations we cannot use it, for example, because a build rule creates files whose names are not known statically and hence cannot be specified as the rule's outputs. * Use Shake's `produces` to record outputs dynamically, within the rule. * Use Shake's `historyDisable` to disable caching for a particular build rule. We currently use this approach only for `ghc-pkg` which mutates the package database and the file `package.cache`. These two tickets are fixed as the result: Ticket #16271: ​https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16271 Ticket #16272: ​https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16272 (this one is fixed only partially: we correctly record the dependency, but we still copy files into the RTS build tree).
