Skip all tests involving GHCi if GHCi is absent

Quite a few tests in the GHC testsuite fail if GHCi is not present. Debian's ports of GHC to e.g. ARM do not include GHCi and hence trigger spurious test failures.

It would be good if all tests that depend on GHCi (including e.g. template Haskell) were made to depend on it being present.
