    Fix a Backpack recompilation avoidance bug when signatures change. · ca543154

    Summary:
    Recompilation avoidance checks if -this-unit-id has changed by relying
    on the "wanted module" check in readIface ("Something is amiss...").
    Unfortunately, this check didn't check if the instantiation made
    sense, which meant that if you changed the signatures of a Backpack
    package, we'd still treat the old signatures as up-to-date.
    
    The way I fixed this was by having findAndReadIface take in a 'Module'
    representing the /actual/ module we were intending to lookup.  We
    convert this into the 'Module' we expect to see in 'mi_module' and
    now do a more elaborate check that will also verify that instantiations
    make sense.
    
    Along the way, I robustified the logging infrastructure for
    recompilation checking, and folded wrongIfaceModErr (which
    was dead code) into the error message.
