Use --make mode by default

Terribly radical suggestion, have --make mode be the default. Just think of the annual number of keystrokes saved!

It would not actually break the one-shot mode that build systems use. Proper build systems compile .hs modules using -c and they link by specifying .o files, not .hs files.

Thus we can change the meaning of things like:

ghc foo.hs -o foo

without changing the meaning of either of these:

ghc -c foo.hs
ghc foo.o -o foo
