Partially fix #367 by adding HpLim checks to entry with -fno-omit-yields.

The current fix is relatively dumb as far as where to add HpLim
checks: it will always perform a check unless we know that we're
returning from a closure or we are doing a non let-no-escape case
analysis.  The performance impact on the nofib suite looks like this:

            Min          +5.7%     -0.0%     -6.5%     -6.4%    -50.0%
            Max          +6.3%     +5.8%     +5.0%     +5.5%     +0.8%
 Geometric Mean          +6.2%     +0.1%     +0.5%     +0.5%     -0.8%

Overall, the executable bloat is the biggest problem, so we keep the old
omit-yields optimization on by default. Remember that if you need an
interruptibility guarantee, you need to recompile all of your libraries
with -fno-omit-yields.

A better fix would involve only inserting the yields necessary to break
loops; this is left as future work.
