This patch makes the following types levity-polymorphic in their
last argument:
- Array# a, SmallArray# a, Weak# b, StablePtr# a, StableName# a
- MutableArray# s a, SmallMutableArray# s a,
MutVar# s a, TVar# s a, MVar# s a, IOPort# s a
The corresponding primops are also made levity-polymorphic, e.g.
`newArray#`, `readArray#`, `writeMutVar#`, `writeIOPort#`, etc.
Additionally, exception handling functions such as `catch#`, `raise#`,
`maskAsyncExceptions#`,... are made levity/representation-polymorphic.
Now that Array# and MutableArray# also work with unlifted types,
we can simply re-define ArrayArray# and MutableArrayArray# in terms
of them. This means that ArrayArray# and MutableArrayArray# are no
longer primitive types, but simply unlifted newtypes around Array# and
MutableArrayArray#.
This completes the implementation of the Pointer Rep proposal
