Two improvements to the SMP runtime:

  - support for 'par', aka sparks.  Load balancing is very primitive
    right now, but I have seen programs that go faster using par.

  - support for backing off when a thread is found to be duplicating
    a computation currently underway in another thread.  This also
    fixes some instability in SMP, because it turned out that when
    an update frame points to an indirection, which can happen if
    a thunk is under evaluation in multiple threads, then after GC
    has shorted out the indirection the update will trash the value.
    Now we suspend the duplicate computation to the heap before this
    can happen.

Additionally:

  - stack squeezing is separate from lazy blackholing, and now only
    happens if there's a reasonable amount of squeezing to be done
    in relation to the number of words of stack that have to be moved.
    This means we won't try to shift 10Mb of stack just to save 2
    words at the bottom (it probably never happened, but still).

  - update frames are now marked when they have been visited by lazy
    blackholing, as per the SMP paper.

  - cleaned up raiseAsync() a bit.

Two significant changes to the representation of types

1. Change the representation of type synonyms

    Up to now, type synonym applications have been held in
    *both* expanded *and* un-expanded form.  Unfortunately, this
    has exponential (!) behaviour when type synonyms are deeply
    nested.  E.g.
    type P a b = (a,b)
    f :: P a (P b (P c (P d e)))

    This showed up in a program of Joel Reymont, now immortalised
    as typecheck/should_compile/syn-perf.hs

    So now synonyms are held as ordinary TyConApps, and expanded
    only on demand.

    SynNote has disappeared altogether, so the only remaining TyNote

2. Eta-reduce newtypes

    See the Note [Newtype eta] in TyCon.lhs

    If we have
    newtype T a b = MkT (S a b)

    then, in Core land, we would like S = T, even though the application
    of T is then not saturated. This commit eta-reduces T's RHS, and
    keeps that inside the TyCon (in nt_etad_rhs).  Result is that
    coreEqType can be simpler, and has less need of expanding newtypes.

gcc's -fstrict-aliasing is biting us when we use the stack to store
different types of objects.  For example:

  *((StgDouble*)((W_)Sp-8)) = *((StgDouble*)((W_)Sp+8));
  Sp[1] = (W_)&s1Cx_info;

gcc feels free to reorder these two lines, because they refer to
differently typed objects, even though the assignment to Sp[1] clearly
aliases the read from the same location.

Trying to fix this by accessing locations using union types might be
possible, but I took the sledgehammer approach of
-fno-strict-aliasing.  This is justified to a certain extent because

  normal user and global databases are added.

  GHC_PACKAGE_PATH is searched left-to-right for packages, like

  right-to-left.  This isn't ideal, but it seemed the least worst to me

  it if there's an outcry.

- Rationalise the interpretation of --user, --global, and -f on the

  say which package database to *act upon*, they do not change the

  commands that modify the database.  If a database is already on the stack,
  then -f just selects it as the one to act upon.

  This means you can have a bunch of databases in GHC_PACKAGE_PATH, and
