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.

Fixes a long-standing bug that could in some cases cause sub-optimal
scheduling behaviour.

Having a timer signal go off regularly is bad for power consumption,
and generally bad practice anyway (it means the app cannot be
completely swapped out, for example). Fortunately the threaded RTS
already had a way to detect when the system was idle, so that it can
trigger a GC and thereby find deadlocks. After performing the GC, we
now turn off timer signals, and re-enable them again just before
running any Haskell code.

Also, I documented it. +RTS -V0 disables the internal RTS timer
completely, which is useful for repeatable debugginng.

Now that constructor info tables contain the name of the constructor,
we can generate useful heap profiles without requiring the whole
program and libraries to be compiled with -prof. So now, "+RTS -hT"
generates a heap profile for any program, dividing the profile by
constructor. It wouldn't be hard to add support for grouping
constructors by module, or to restrict the profile to certain
constructors/modules/packages.
This means that for the first time we can get heap profiles for GHCi,
which was previously impossible because the byte-code
interpreter and linker don't work with -prof.

This lets the threaded RTS use SIGVTALRM rather than SIGALRM for its
interval timer signal, so the threaded and non-threaded RTS are
compatible. It unfortunately doesn't completely fix #850/#1156, for
that we really have to use a restartable sleep instead of usleep().
Also I cleaned up the timer API a little: instead of returning an
error value that ultimately gets ignored, we now report errors from
system calls and exit.

In preparation for parallel GC, split up the monolithic GC.c file into
smaller parts. Also in this patch (and difficult to separate,
unfortunatley):
- Don't include Stable.h in Rts.h, instead just include it where
necessary.
- consistently use STATIC_INLINE in source files, and INLINE_HEADER
in header files. STATIC_INLINE is now turned off when DEBUG is on,
to make debugging easier.
- The GC no longer takes the get_roots function as an argument.
We weren't making use of this generalisation.

Fixed version of an old patch by Simon Marlow. His description read:
Also, now an arbitrarily short context switch interval may now be
specified, as we increase the RTS ticker's resolution to match the
requested context switch interval. This also applies to +RTS -i (heap
profiling) and +RTS -I (the idle GC timer). +RTS -V is actually only
required for increasing the resolution of the profile timer.

Calling prodAllCapabilities() from interruptStgRts() was wrong, for
the same reasons that we stopped doing it in handle_tick(). We now
use the same mechanism (send a byte down the pipe to the IO manager
thread), but abstract it in a wakeUpRts() function in the scheduler.

In the threaded RTS on *nix platforms:
- we now start the IO manager thread eagerly at startup time
(previously was started on demand).
- we now ask the IO manager thread to stop at shutdown
- In Timer.c:handle_tick, if it looks like we might be in a
deadlock, instead of calling prodOneCapability() which was known to be
wrong, we now send a byte down the IO manager's pipe to wake it up.
This also avoids a case of double-acquisition of a mutex, which
happened if prodOneCapability() was called while the current thread
was holding a mutex.

Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to
Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree
without losing history, so here goes.
The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it
contained is now at the top level. The build system now makes no
pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system.
No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of
instability while we fix the dependencies. A straightforward build
should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions.
Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.
