This is needed to keep the compilation warning free (and thus pass GHC's
./validate) regardless of whether Word is re-exported from Prelude or not

Also fix a bug with finding the package name and version given a
module. This had become wrong due to the package key changes (it was
very hacky in the first place). We now look up the package key in the
package db to get the package info properly.

Closes #348

Currently we only use it only for ‘since’ annotations but with these
patches it should be fairly simple to add new attributes if we wish to.

Closes #26. It seems to work fine but due to 7.10 rush I don't have the
chance to do more exhaustive testing right now. The way the meta is
output (emphasis at the end of the whole comment) is fairly arbitrary
and subject to bikeshedding.

Note that this makes test for Bug310 fail due to interface version bump:
it can't find the docs for base with this interface version so it fails.
There is not much we can do to help this because it tests for ’built-in’
identifier, not something we can provide ourselves.

This should at the very least not abort when something weird happens. It
does feel like we should have a type that carries these errors until the
end however as the user might not see them unless they are printed at
the end.

Fixes #310

This is to disambiguate them from markdown links and will be require
with a future release.

(this slows down reloads on modifications)

Closes #335

Make `getPrologue` force `parseParas dflags str` before returning. Without this, it will attempt to read from the file after it is closed, with unspecified and generally bad results.
