Extensible Hints for diagnostic messages
This commit extends the GHC diagnostic hierarchy with a `GhcHint` type,
modelling helpful suggestions emitted by GHC which can be used to deal
with a particular warning or error.
As a direct consequence of this, the `Diagnostic` typeclass has been extended
with a `diagnosticHints` method, which returns a `[GhcHint]`. This means
that now we can clearly separate out the printing of the diagnostic
message with the suggested fixes.
This is done by extending the `printMessages` function in
`GHC.Driver.Errors`.
On top of that, the old `PsHint` type has been superseded by the new `GhcHint`
type, which de-duplicates some hints in favour of a general `SuggestExtension`
constructor that takes a `GHC.LanguageExtensions.Extension`.
