This makes isNativeBignumGhc purely textual again after NixOS#460845. Could improve performance in the right conditions, but most importantly solves eval issues with aliases allowed (due to the throw-ing ghc attributes) without resorting to tryEval.

Another instance of CI not catching an eval issue that is introduced in the presence of aliases.
