This frees wORD_SIZE up to be moved out of HaskellConstants

We only use it for "compiler" sources, i.e. not for libraries.
Many modules have a -fno-warn-tabs kludge for now.

User visible changes
====================
Profilng
--------
Flags renamed (the old ones are still accepted for now):
OLD NEW
--------- ------------
-auto-all -fprof-auto
-auto -fprof-exported
-caf-all -fprof-cafs
New flags:
-fprof-auto Annotates all bindings (not just top-level
ones) with SCCs
-fprof-top Annotates just top-level bindings with SCCs
-fprof-exported Annotates just exported bindings with SCCs
-fprof-no-count-entries Do not maintain entry counts when profiling
(can make profiled code go faster; useful with
heap profiling where entry counts are not used)
Cost-centre stacks have a new semantics, which should in most cases
result in more useful and intuitive profiles. If you find this not to
be the case, please let me know. This is the area where I have been
experimenting most, and the current solution is probably not the
final version, however it does address all the outstanding bugs and
seems to be better than GHC 7.2.
Stack traces
------------
+RTS -xc now gives more information. If the exception originates from
a CAF (as is common, because GHC tends to lift exceptions out to the
top-level), then the RTS walks up the stack and reports the stack in
the enclosing update frame(s).
Result: +RTS -xc is much more useful now - but you still have to
compile for profiling to get it. I've played around a little with
adding 'head []' to GHC itself, and +RTS -xc does pinpoint the problem
quite accurately.
I plan to add more facilities for stack tracing (e.g. in GHCi) in the
future.
Coverage (HPC)
--------------
* derived instances are now coloured yellow if they weren't used
* likewise record field names
* entry counts are more accurate (hpc --fun-entry-count)
* tab width is now correct (markup was previously off in source with
tabs)
Internal changes
================
In Core, the Note constructor has been replaced by
Tick (Tickish b) (Expr b)
which is used to represent all the kinds of source annotation we
support: profiling SCCs, HPC ticks, and GHCi breakpoints.
Depending on the properties of the Tickish, different transformations
apply to Tick. See CoreUtils.mkTick for details.
Tickets
=======
This commit closes the following tickets, test cases to follow:
- Close #2552: not a bug, but the behaviour is now more intuitive
(test is T2552)
- Close #680 (test is T680)
- Close #1531 (test is result001)
- Close #949 (test is T949)
- Close #2466: test case has bitrotted (doesn't compile against current
version of vector-space package)

Modules that need it import it themselves instead.

This roughly halves memory usage when compiling
module Foo where
foo :: Double -> Int
foo x | x == 1 = 1
...
foo x | x == 500 = 500
without optimisation.

Older GHCs can't parse OPTIONS_GHC.
This also changes the URL referenced for the -w options from
WorkingConventions#Warnings to CodingStyle#Warnings for the compiler
modules.

This large checkin is the new ghc version of Haskell
Program Coverage, an expression-level coverage tool for Haskell.
Parts:
- Hpc.[ch] - small runtime support for Hpc; reading/writing *.tix files.
- Coverage.lhs - Annotates the HsSyn with coverage tickboxes.
- New Note's in Core,
- TickBox -- ticked on entry to sub-expression
- BinaryTickBox -- ticked on exit to sub-expression, depending
-- on the boolean result.
- New Stg level TickBox (no BinaryTickBoxes, though)
You can run the coverage tool with -fhpc at compile time.
Main must be compiled with -fhpc.

Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to
Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree
without losing history, so here goes.
The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it
contained is now at the top level. The build system now makes no
pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system.
No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of
instability while we fix the dependencies. A straightforward build
should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions.
Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.
