Use IP based CallStack in error and undefined
This patch modifies `error`, `undefined`, and `assertError` to use
implicit call-stacks to provide better error messages to users.
There are a few knock-on effects:
- `GHC.Classes.IP` is now wired-in so it can be used in the wired-in
types for `error` and `undefined`.
- `TysPrim.tyVarList` has been replaced with a new function
`TysPrim.mkTemplateTyVars`. `tyVarList` made it easy to introduce
subtle bugs when you need tyvars of different kinds. The naive
```
tv1 = head $ tyVarList kind1
tv2 = head $ tyVarList kind2
```
would result in `tv1` and `tv2` sharing a `Unique`, thus substitutions
would be applied incorrectly, treating `tv1` and `tv2` as the same
tyvar. `mkTemplateTyVars` avoids this pitfall by taking a list of kinds
and producing a single tyvar of each kind.
- The types `GHC.SrcLoc.SrcLoc` and `GHC.Stack.CallStack` now live in
ghc-prim.
- The type `GHC.Exception.ErrorCall` has a new constructor
`ErrorCallWithLocation` that takes two `String`s instead of one, the
2nd one being arbitrary metadata about the error (but usually the
call-stack). A bi-directional pattern synonym `ErrorCall` continues to
provide the old API.
Updates Cabal, array, and haddock submodules.
