Rip out object splitting
The splitter is an evil Perl script that processes assembler code. Its job can be done better by the linker's --gc-sections flag. GHC passes this flag to the linker whenever -split-sections is passed on the command line. This is based on @DemiMarie's D2768. Fixes Trac #11315 Fixes Trac #9832 Fixes Trac #8964 Fixes Trac #8685 Fixes Trac #8629
