Second attempt to fix #1185 (forkProcess and -threaded)

Patch 2/2: first patch is to ghc

This time without dynamic linker hacks, instead I've expanded the
existing rts/Globals.c to cache more CAFs, specifically those in
GHC.Conc.  We were already using this trick for signal handlers, I
should have realised before.

It's still quite unsavoury, but we can do away with rts/Globals.c in
the future when we switch to a dynamically-linked GHCi.

  This is the libraries/base part of the patch; there is a corresponding
  patch to GHC itself.

  The main change is that we now keep track of the IO manager's ThreadId
  in a top-level MVar, and ensureIOManagerIsRunning checks whether a
  previous IO manager thread is alive before starting one.  In the child
  of fork(), we can hence call ensureIOManagerIsRunning to restart the
  IO manager.
