The fix for Trac #10890 in commit 1818b48e, namely
   Fix incorrect import warnings when methods with identical names are imported
was wrong, as demonstrated by the new test T10890_2.  It suppressed
far too many warnings!

This patch fixes the original problem in a different way, by making
RdrName.greUsedRdrName a bit cleverer.

But this too is not really the Right Thing.  I think the Right Thing is
to store the /GRE/ in the tcg_used_rdrnames, not the /RdrName/.  That
would be a lot simpler and more direct.

But one step at a time.

Currently, GHC's warning generation code is assuming that a name (`RdrName`)
can be imported at most once. This is a correct assumption, because 1) it's OK
to import same names as long as we don't use any of them 2) when we use one of
them, GHC generates an error because it doesn't disambiguate it automatically.

But apparently the story is different with typeclass methods. If I import two
methods with same names, it's OK to use them in typeclass instance
declarations, because the context specifies which one to use. For example, this
is OK (where modules A and B define typeclasses A and B, both with a function
has),

    import A
    import B

    data Blah = Blah

    instance A Blah where
      has = Blah

    instance B Blah where
      has = Blah

But GHC's warning generator is not taking this into account, and so if I change
import list of this program to:

    import A (A (has))
    import B (B (has))

GHC is printing these warnings:

    Main.hs:5:1: Warning:
        The import of ‘A.has’ from module ‘A’ is redundant

    Main.hs:6:1: Warning:
        The import of ‘B.has’ from module ‘B’ is redundant

Why? Because warning generation code is _silently_ ignoring multiple symbols
with same names.

With this patch, GHC takes this into account. If there's only one name, then
this patch reduces to the previous version, that is, it works exactly the same
as current GHC (thanks goes to @quchen for realizing this).

GHC Trac Issues: #10890

Summary:
Instead of doing these warnings at MkIface time, we do them
when we create the instances/rules in the typechecker/desugarer.

Emitting warnings for auto-generated instances was a pain
(since the specialization monad doesn't have the capacity
to emit warnings) so instead I just deprecated -fwarn-auto-orphans.
Auto rule orphans are pretty harmless anyway: they don't cause
interface files to be eagerly loaded in.

Noticed today that deprecation warnings are
slightly broken in -HEAD:

  mtl-2.2.1/Control/Monad/Error/Class.hs:46:1: warning:
    Module ‘Control.Monad.Trans.Error’ is deprecated:
      ([", U, s, e,  , C, o, n, t, r, o, l, ., M, o, n, a, d, ., T, r, a,
        n, s, ., E, x, c, e, p, t,  , i, n, s, t, e, a, d, "],
       Use Control.Monad.Trans.Except instead)

Commit e6191d1c


slightly changed WarningTxt declaration:

-data WarningTxt = WarningTxt (Located SourceText) [Located FastString]
-                | DeprecatedTxt (Located SourceText) [Located FastString]
+data WarningTxt = WarningTxt (Located SourceText)
+                             [Located (SourceText,FastString)]
+                | DeprecatedTxt (Located SourceText)
+                                [Located (SourceText,FastString)]

But 'moduleWarn' function was not updated to do the stripping.
