Draft: Always build GHCi, using iserv if needed
Rebase of !1405 (closed)
This builds GHCi under all conditions, by allowing fexternal-interpreter
to work when he internal interpreter isn't built.
Continues the fight where !1390 (closed) left off.
I tested that this works for basic things like 1 + 1, but we would want to modify the testsuite so that we can properly test the ghc built in stage0. It's quite likely that some CPPing ought to be added within the now-un-CPPed code, so we are affectively pushing the CPP deeper rather than removing it entirely.
CC @alp @angerman @hvr since you all are CC'd in !1390 (closed).
