This commit modifies interface files so that *only* direct information about modules and packages is stored in the interface file. * Only direct module and direct package dependencies are stored in the interface files. * Trusted packages are now stored separately as they need to be checked transitively. * hs-boot files below the compiled module in the home module are stored so that eps_is_boot can be calculated in one-shot mode without loading all interface files in the home package. * The transitive closure of signatures is stored separately This is important for two reasons * Less recompilation is needed, as motivated by #16885, a lot of redundant compilation was triggered when adding new imports deep in the module tree as all the parent interface files had to be redundantly updated. * Checking an interface file is cheaper because you don't have to perform a transitive traversal to check the dependencies are up-to-date. In the code, places where we would have used the transitive closure, we instead compute the necessary transitive closure. The closure is not computed very often, was already happening in checkDependencies, and was already happening in getLinkDeps.
