Show dynamic object files (#16062)

Dmitry Dolgov requested to merge erthalion/ghc:dynamic-too-progess-message into master

An attempt to fix a small issue #16062 (closed), I hope the implementation is sensible. There is an assumption, that dynamic object file name could be reconstructed from an object file name. In the source code I found dynObjectFile and the corresponding ghc flag -dyno, what gave me an impression that this could change the dynamic object file name and the implementation should take this into account. But tests like:

./inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 -dyno test_dyn -dynamic-too Main.hs

showed that it doesn't change dynamic object file name. Is it correct?
