Allow RULES for seq, and exploit them

Roman found situations where he had
      case (f n) of _ -> e
where he knew that f (which was strict in n) would terminate if n did.
Notice that the result of (f n) is discarded. So it makes sense to
transform to
      case n of _ -> e

Rather than attempt some general analysis to support this, I've added
enough support that you can do this using a rewrite rule:

  RULE "f/seq" forall n.  seq (f n) e = seq n e

You write that rule.  When GHC sees a case expression that discards
its result, it mentally transforms it to a call to 'seq' and looks for
a RULE.  (This is done in Simplify.rebuildCase.)  As usual, the
correctness of the rule is up to you.

This patch implements the extra stuff.  I have not documented it explicitly
in the user manual yet... let's see how useful it is first.

     seq from MkCore back into DsUtils where it properly belongs.
     (It's really a desugaring thing, not a CoreSyn invariant.)

  c) Annoyingly, in a RULE left-hand side we need to be careful that
     the magical desugaring done in MkId Note [seqId magic] item (c)
     is *not* done on the LHS of a rule. Or rather, we arrange to
     un-do it, in DsBinds.decomposeRuleLhs.

Fix Trac #3259: expose 'lazy' only after generating interface files

This patch fixes an insidious and long-standing bug in the way that
parallelism is handled in GHC.  See Note [lazyId magic] in MkId.

Here's the diagnosis, copied from the Trac ticket.  par is defined
in GHC.Conc thus:

    {-# INLINE par  #-}
    par :: a -> b -> b
    par  x y = case (par# x) of { _ -> lazy y }

    -- The reason for the strange "lazy" call is that it fools the
    -- compiler into thinking that pseq and par are non-strict in
    -- their second argument (even if it inlines pseq/par at the call
    -- site).  If it thinks par is strict in "y", then it often
    -- evaluates "y" before "x", which is totally wrong.

The function lazy is the identity function, but it is inlined only
after strictness analysis, and (via some magic) pretends to be
lazy. Hence par pretends to be lazy too.

The trouble is that both par and lazy are inlined into your definition
of parallelise, so that the unfolding for parallelise (exposed in
Parallelise.hi) does not use lazy at all. Then when compiling Main,
parallelise is in turn inlined (before strictness analysis), and so
the strictness analyser sees too much.

This was all sloppy thinking on my part. Inlining lazy after
strictness analysis works fine for the current module, but not for
importing modules.

The fix implemented by this patch is to inline 'lazy' in CorePrep,
not in WorkWrap. That way interface files never see the inlined version.

The downside is that a little less optimisation may happen on programs
that use 'lazy'.  And you'll only see this in the results -ddump-prep
not in -ddump-simpl.  So KEEP AN EYE OUT (Simon and Satnam especially).
Still, it should work properly now.  Certainly fixes #3259.

Template Haskell: allow type splices

At last!  Trac #1476 and #3177

This patch extends Template Haskell by allowing splices in
types.  For example

  f :: Int -> $(burble 3)

A type splice should work anywhere a type is expected.  This feature
has been long requested, and quite a while ago I'd re-engineered the
type checker to make it easier, but had never got around to finishing
the job.  With luck, this does it.

There's a ToDo in the HsSpliceTy case of RnTypes.rnHsType, where I
am not dealing properly with the used variables; but that's awaiting
the refactoring of the way we report unused names.

Template Haskell: improve lifting for strings

When you have a (\s::String -> ....[| s |]....), the string
's' is lifted.  We used to get a chain of single-character
Cons nodes, correct but lots and lots of code.

This patch arranges to optimise that to a string literal. It does
so in two places:
  a) In TcExpr, if we know that s::String, we generate liftString directly
  b) In DsMeta, if we find a list of character literals, we convert to
     a string.  This catches a few cases that (a) does not
