RTS tidyup sweep, first phase
The first phase of this tidyup is focussed on the header files, and in particular making sure we are exposinng publicly exactly what we need to, and no more. - Rts.h now includes everything that the RTS exposes publicly, rather than a random subset of it. - Most of the public header files have moved into subdirectories, and many of them have been renamed. But clients should not need to include any of the other headers directly, just #include the main public headers: Rts.h, HsFFI.h, RtsAPI.h. - All the headers needed for via-C compilation have moved into the stg subdirectory, which is self-contained. Most of the headers for the rest of the RTS APIs have moved into the rts subdirectory. - I left MachDeps.h where it is, because it is so widely used in Haskell code. - I left a deprecated stub for RtsFlags.h in place. The flag structures are now exposed by Rts.h. - Various internal APIs are no longer exposed by public header files. - Various bits of dead code and declarations have been removed - More gcc warnings are turned on, and the RTS code is more warning-clean. - More source files #include "PosixSource.h", and hence only use standard POSIX (1003.1c-1995) interfaces. There is a lot more tidying up still to do, this is just the first pass. I also intend to standardise the names for external RTS APIs (e.g use the rts_ prefix consistently), and declare the internal APIs as hidden for shared libraries.
