Fix trait stumbling over unresolved types in signature

We have to fully resolve a routine's signature before applying traits as the latter may want to access e.g. parameter types. However, naively doing so revealed a timing problem. Signatures and parameters tuned their behaviour according to whether they were attached to a (methodish) routine. This broke as at the time we're applying traits, the signature is not attached yet.
Follow the "tell, don't ask" principle of object oriented design and instead of signatures and parameters querying their owner, have the owner tell them how to behave via the new set-is-on-method and set-default-type methods.

Probably fix installability test in CURI

As described in github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/4857
Unfortunately, I was not able to reproduce the issue. So not 100% this is the fix. It is in any case closer to the original code.

nine lizmat: that's prone to a race condition. Why not use try like the original? 10:05
lizmat nine: why the try? the most lethal thing mkdir can return is a Failure ? 10:06
and afaics, that is the original semantics I restored, so I also restored the race condition ? 10:07

Reduce number of method calls in stub check
10:08
nine Ah, yes, mkdir catches the VM's exception
So....ignore my comment then :)
lizmat fwiw, I still don't understand how that commit could be the reason, but I hope this fixes it. If not, I will look into it further 10:09
and apparently this fixed the issue 10:10
MasterDuke lizmat: btw, have you looked at the "checks" tab of PRs? that's where you can find the links to the build logs
"View more details on Azure Pipelines " 10:11
speaking of PRs, think github.com/Raku/nqp/pull/768 looks any better nine? 10:12
lizmat ok, I'm pretty sure I tried it before... works now 10:15
maybe a temp glitch on the Azure end
MasterDuke yeah, i occasionally couldn't access it before, but it's been fine for a while now 10:17

Streamline ModuleLoader.merge_globals

  - don't populate known symbols if there's nothing to merge
  - don't special case both sides stubbed anymore
  - only check for stubbing on each side once
  - remove "P6M" from die message: it seems unnecessary now

Abstract known symbols lookup logic into a sub

And optimize it so that we don't need to create NQP pair objects.

Streamline ModuleLoader.merge_globals_lexically

  - revert known symbols abstraction, turned out it wasn't general enough
  - rename is_stub to is_HOW_stub, it doesn't take HOWs anymore
  - don't do anything if there's nothing to do
  - group actions together and simplify checking logic
  - remove P6M from error message

rakudo: 1ad97a687d | (Daniel Green)++ | tools/templates/NQP_REVISION
Bump NQP for a change/optimization to how bytecode is written to files

The buffer for each frame is now pre-allocated and each frame is written to the file directly, instead of building them all up into one large buffer. Given the speed of modern SSDs, this is the same as or only slightly slower than doing it all at once and saves on total memory used.

It was not / no longer being used anywhere. Removed code is debugged code :)

Streamline World.find_single_symbol

  - turn existskey / atkey pairs into nqp::isnull(nqp::atkey) so that
   a found key only needs to be looked up once.
  - don't repeat dynamic variable lookups
  - reduce number of lexicals

Streamline symbol lookup in setting

  - rename method to "find_single_symbol_in_setting" to
   "find_single_symbol_in_unloaded_setting" as this method is only
   called for symbol lookup if the setting for the World object
   actually hasn't been loaded yet.
  - replace existkey/atkey with nqp::isnull(atkey) logic
19:34
rakudo: 3b692b1b34 | (Elizabeth Mattijsen)++ | src/Perl6/World.nqp
Add World.find_single_symbol_in_setting method

  - fast-path to finding common symbols from the setting, such as
   Mu, Any, Pair, etc.
  - one less named param in call
  - revert to slow-path if not found
  - Adapt calls in World to use this where possible

Geth rakudo: 9a860ca85d | (Elizabeth Mattijsen)++ | src/Perl6/Actions.nqp
Use new World.find_single_symbol_in_setting in Actions

Feels to me there are a lot more calls that could be fast-pathed to settings only. But that's for another day
