Summary:
The basic idea is that we have a new set of "exposed modules"
which are /only/ used for plugins, i.e. -fplugin Foo and
--frontend Foo. You can interact with this namespace
using the flags -plugin-package-id and -plugin-package.
By default, this namespace contains all modules in the
user namespace (as before), but you can toggle that using
-hide-all-plugin-packages.
There is one nasty hack: GhcMake respects -fplugin in
GHC_OPTIONS to make local plugins work correctly. It also
bails out of you have an import of a module which doesn't
exist locally or in the package database. The upshot is
that we need to be sure to check in the plugin modules
too, so we don't give a spurious failure when a plugin
is in the plugin namespace but not the main namespace.
A better way to fix this would be to distinguish between
plugin and normal dependencies in ModSummary.
I cheated a little and tweaked a few existing plugins
tests to exercise the new code paths.
