do_checks: do not set HpAlloc if the stack check fails

This fixes a very rare heap corruption bug, whereby

 - a context switch is requested, which sets HpLim to zero
   (contextSwitchCapability(), called by the timer signal or
   another Capability).

 - simultaneously a stack check fails, in a code fragment that has
   both a stack and a heap check.

The RTS then assumes that a heap-check failure has occurred and
subtracts HpAlloc from Hp, although in fact it was a stack-check
failure and retreating Hp will overwrite valid heap objects.  The bug
is that HpAlloc should only be set when Hp has been incremented by the
heap check.  See comments in rts/HeapStackCheck.cmm for more details.

This bug is probably incredibly rare in practice, but I happened to be
working on a test that triggers it reliably:
concurrent/should_run/throwto001, compiled with -O -threaded, args 30

Use message-passing to implement throwTo in the RTS

This replaces some complicated locking schemes with message-passing
in the implementation of throwTo. The benefits are

 - previously it was impossible to guarantee that a throwTo from
   a thread running on one CPU to a thread running on another CPU
   would be noticed, and we had to rely on the GC to pick up these
   forgotten exceptions. This no longer happens.

 - the locking regime is simpler (though the code is about the same
   size)

 - threads can be unblocked from a blocked_exceptions queue without
   having to traverse the whole queue now.  It's a rare case, but
   replaces an O(n) operation with an O(1).

 - generally we move in the direction of sharing less between
   Capabilities (aka HECs), which will become important with other
   changes we have planned.

Also in this patch I replaced several STM-specific closure types with
a generic MUT_PRIM closure type, which allowed a lot of code in the GC
and other places to go away, hence the line-count reduction.  The
message-passing changes resulted in about a net zero line-count
difference.

Split part of the Task struct into a separate struct InCall

Haskell from C is split into a separate struct InCall, pointed to by
the Task and the TSO bound to it.  A given OSThread/Task thus always
uses the same mutex and condition variable, rather than getting a new
one for each callback.  Conceptually it is simpler, although there are
more types and indirections in a few places now.

This improves callback performance by removing some of the locks that

record wild-cards we don't know what variables are bound by C {..}
until after the renamer has filled in the "..".

So this patch does the following

* Change all the collect-X-Binders functions in HsUtils so that
  they expect to only be called *after* renaming.  That means they
  don't need to return [Located id] but just [id].  Which turned out
  to be a very worthwhile simplification all by itself.

* Refactor the renamer, and in ptic RnExpr.rnStmt, so that it
  doesn't need to use collectLStmtsBinders on pre-renamed Stmts.

* This in turn required me to understand how GroupStmt and
  TransformStmts were renamed.  Quite fiddly. I rewrote most of it;
  result is much shorter.

* In doing so I flattened HsExpr.GroupByClause into its parent
  GroupStmt, with trivial knock-on effects in other files.
