Converting between UnitInfo stored in package databases and UnitInfo as
they are used in ghc-pkg and ghc was done in a very convoluted way (via
BinaryStringRep and DbUnitModuleRep type classes using fun deps, etc.).
It was difficult to understand and even more to modify (I wanted to
try to use a GADT for UnitId but fun deps got in the way).

The new code uses much more straightforward functions to convert between
the different representations. Much simpler.
