This patch adds foldl' to GhcPrelude and changes must occurences
of foldl to foldl'. This leads to better performance especially
for quick builds where GHC does not perform strictness analysis.
It does change strictness behaviour when we use foldl' to turn
a argument list into function applications. But this is only a
drawback if code looks ONLY at the last argument but not at the first.
And as the benchmarks show leads to fewer allocations in practice
at O2.
Compiler performance for Nofib:
O2 Allocations:
-1 s.d. ----- -0.0% +1 s.d. ----- -0.0% Average ----- -0.0%
O2 Compile Time:
-1 s.d. ----- -2.8% +1 s.d. ----- +1.3% Average ----- -0.8%
O0 Allocations:
