Produce new-style Cmm from the Cmm parser
The main change here is that the Cmm parser now allows high-level cmm code with argument-passing and function calls. For example: foo ( gcptr a, bits32 b ) { if (b > 0) { // we can make tail calls passing arguments: jump stg_ap_0_fast(a); } return (x,y); } More details on the new cmm syntax are in Note [Syntax of .cmm files] in CmmParse.y. The old syntax is still more-or-less supported for those occasional code fragments that really need to explicitly manipulate the stack. However there are a couple of differences: it is now obligatory to give a list of live GlobalRegs on every jump, e.g. jump %ENTRY_CODE(Sp(0)) [R1]; Again, more details in Note [Syntax of .cmm files]. I have rewritten most of the .cmm files in the RTS into the new syntax, except for AutoApply.cmm which is generated by the genapply program: this file could be generated in the new syntax instead and would probably be better off for it, but I ran out of enthusiasm. Some other changes in this batch: - The PrimOp calling convention is gone, primops now use the ordinary NativeNodeCall convention. This means that primops and "foreign import prim" code must be written in high-level cmm, but they can now take more than 10 arguments. - CmmSink now does constant-folding (should fix #7219) - .cmm files now go through the cmmPipeline, and as a result we generate better code in many cases. All the object files generated for the RTS .cmm files are now smaller. Performance should be better too, but I haven't measured it yet. - RET_DYN frames are removed from the RTS, lots of code goes away - we now have some more canned GC points to cover unboxed-tuples with 2-4 pointers, which will reduce code size a little.
