Initialize ptr to NULL to silence Clang warning.

Don't use -finline-limit with Clang.

It's unsupported.

Ensure gc_thread->wakeup is of type StgWord8.

rtsBool is defined to only have two inhabitants, which are true (1) and
false (0)

But the wakeup flag is set to 4 possible values, outside the range of
rtsBool. This leads Clang to warn about tautological comparisons.

Ensure gc_type is StgWord8.

Again, the range of gc_type is actually 1-3, which is technically
outside the range of rtsBool.

Typo in note
Revise implementation of overlapping type family instances.

This commit changes the syntax and story around overlapping type
family instances. Before, we had "unbranched" instances and
"branched" instances. Now, we have closed type families and
open ones.

The behavior of open families is completely unchanged. In particular,
coincident overlap of open type family instances still works, despite
emails to the contrary.

A closed type family is declared like this:
> type family F a where
>   F Int = Bool
>   F a   = Char
The equations are tried in order, from top to bottom, subject to
certain constraints, as described in the user manual. It is not
allowed to declare an instance of a closed family.
