Display results of GHC.Core.Lint.lint* functions consistently
Previously, the functions in `GHC.Core.Lint` used a patchwork of
different ways to display Core Lint errors:
* `lintPassResult` (which is the source of most Core Lint errors) renders
Core Lint errors with a distinctive banner (e.g.,
`*** Core Lint errors : in result of ... ***`) that sets them apart
from ordinary GHC error messages.
* `lintAxioms`, in contrast, uses a completely different code path that
displays Core Lint errors in a rather confusing manner. For example,
the program in #18770 would give these results:
```
Bug.hs:1:1: error:
Bug.hs:12:1: warning:
Non-*-like kind when *-like expected: RuntimeRep
when checking the body of forall: 'TupleRep '[r]
In the coercion axiom Bug.N:T :: []. Bug.T ~_R Any
Substitution: [TCvSubst
In scope: InScope {r}
Type env: [axl :-> r]
Co env: []]
|
1 | {-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
| ^
```
* Further digging reveals that `GHC.IfaceToCore` displays Core Lint
errors for iface unfoldings as though they were a GHC panic. See, for
example, this excerpt from #17723:
```
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 8.8.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
Iface Lint failure
In interface for Lib
...
```
This patch makes all of these code paths display Core Lint errors and
warnings consistently. I decided to adopt the conventions that
`lintPassResult` currently uses, as they appear to have been around the
longest (and look the best, in my subjective opinion). We now use the
`displayLintResult` function for all three scenarios mentioned above.
For example, here is what the Core Lint error for the program in #18770 looks
like after this patch:
```
[1 of 1] Compiling Bug ( Bug.hs, Bug.o )
*** Core Lint errors : in result of TcGblEnv axioms ***
Bug.hs:12:1: warning:
Non-*-like kind when *-like expected: RuntimeRep
when checking the body of forall: 'TupleRep '[r_axn]
In the coercion axiom N:T :: []. T ~_R Any
Substitution: [TCvSubst
In scope: InScope {r_axn}
Type env: [axn :-> r_axn]
Co env: []]
*** Offending Program ***
axiom N:T :: T = Any -- Defined at Bug.hs:12:1
*** End of Offense ***
<no location info>: error:
Compilation had errors
```
Fixes #18770.
