Previously, `showAstData` produced a `String`. That `String` would then be converted to a `Doc` using `text` to implement `-ddump-parsed-ast`. But rendering `text` calculates the length of the `String` before doing anything else. Since the AST can be very large, this was bad: the whole dump string (potentially hundreds of millions of `Char`s) was accumulated in memory. Now, `showAstData` produces a `Doc` directly, which seems to work a lot better. As an extra bonus, the code is simpler and cleaner. The formatting has changed a bit, as the previous ad hoc approach didn't really match the pretty printer too well. If someone cares enough to request adjustments, we can surely make them.
