Name of a back end

Description

In versions of GHC up through 9.2, a Backend was represented only by its name. This module is meant to aid clients written against the GHC API, versions 9.2 and older. The module provides an alternative way to name any back end found in GHC 9.2. /Code within the GHC source tree should not import this module./ (#20927).

Only back ends found in version 9.2 have names.
