Make it easier to print stack traces when debugging GHC itself

As suggested in the mailing list, GHC should have better support for printing its own stack trace when profiling is enabled.

This ticket is to track progress toward this goal.

There are a few moving parts:

• Just having pprTrace use traceStack is a bad idea, because a profiled compiler will spew lots and lots and lots of output. Instead, I propose a new pprTraceStack :: String -> SDoc -> a -> a.
• Currently, ASSERT will print a stack trace, but it's sometimes the wrong one. ASSERT throws an error; if this error is caught and re-thrown, the stack trace is at the re-throw. Instead, it should be at the origin.
• Is it worth adding a new mode in build.mk that enables profiling, DEBUG, and -fprof-auto, just to get good stack traces?
