Re-export GHC.Types from GHC.Exts

  Several times in the past, it has happened that things from GHC.Types
  were not re-exported from GHC.Exts, forcing users to import either
  GHC.Types or GHC.Prim, which are subject to internal change without
  notice.

  We now re-export GHC.Types from GHC.Exts, which should avoid this
  happening again in the future.
  In particular, we now re-export `Multiplicity` and `MultMul`,
  which we didn't before.

  Fixes #20695
