Document how to import the special built-in functions such as inline

The docs at

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.4.2/html/users_guide/special-ids.html

describe what e.g. the inline function does, but they don't describe how to import the function. The docs could even be interpreted as suggesting that you should import GHC.Prim. I suggest we either update those docs or the ones in the GHC.Prim module to explains how to import these functions (i.e. through GHC.Exts).
