Add optional eager black-holing, with new flag -feager-blackholing

Eager blackholing can improve parallel performance by reducing the
chances that two threads perform the same computation.  However, it
has a cost: one extra memory write per thunk entry.

To get the best results, any code which may be executed in parallel
should be compiled with eager blackholing turned on.  But since
there's a cost for sequential code, we make it optional and turn it on

applications (or modules) with parallel code in with
-feager-blackholing.

Attempt to fix #2512 and #2063;  add +RTS -xm<address> -RTS option
On x86_64, the RTS needs to allocate memory in the low 2Gb of the
address space.  On Linux we can do this with MAP_32BIT, but sometimes
this doesn't work (#2512) and other OSs don't support it at all

  - Try MAP_32BIT first, if available.

  - Otherwise, try allocating memory from a fixed address (by default
    1Gb)

  - We now provide an option to configure the address to allocate
    from.  This allows a workaround on machines where the default
    breaks, and also provides a way for people to test workarounds

Add (a) CoreM monad, (b) new Annotations feature

This patch, written by Max Bolingbroke,  does two things

1.  It adds a new CoreM monad (defined in simplCore/CoreMonad),
    which is used as the top-level monad for all the Core-to-Core
    transformations (starting at SimplCore).  It supports
       * I/O (for debug printing)
       * Unique supply
       * Statistics gathering
       * Access to the HscEnv, RuleBase, Annotations, Module
    The patch therefore refactors the top "skin" of every Core-to-Core
    pass, but does not change their functionality.

2.  It adds a completely new facility to GHC: Core "annotations".
    The idea is that you can say
       {#- ANN foo (Just "Hello") #-}
    which adds the annotation (Just "Hello") to the top level function
    foo.  These annotations can be looked up in any Core-to-Core pass,
    and are persisted into interface files.  (Hence a Core-to-Core pass
    can also query the annotations of imported things.)  Furthermore,
    a Core-to-Core pass can add new annotations (eg strictness info)
    of its own, which can be queried by importing modules.

The design of the annotation system is somewhat in flux.  It's
designed to work with the (upcoming) dynamic plug-ins mechanism,
but is meanwhile independently useful.

Do not merge to 6.10!

Change naming conventions for compiler-generated dictionaries and type functions

it confuses the (simple-minded) pretty-printer for types.  So this
patch changes it to be "D:C".  This makes Core a lot easier to read.
Having a colon in the middle ensures that it can't clash with a user-written
data type.

Similarly I changed

  T:C     Data type corresponding a class dictionary (was :TC)
  D:C    Data constructor for class dictionary (was :DC)

  NTCo:T   Coercion mapping from a newtype T to its representation type

  TFCo:R   Coercion mapping from a data family to its respresentation type R
