    Fix #481: use a safe recompilation check when Template Haskell is · 48bc81ad

    We now track whether a module used any TH splices in the ModIface (and
    at compile time in the TcGblEnv and ModGuts).  If a module used TH
    splices last time it was compiled, then we ignore the results of the
    normal recompilation check and recompile anyway, *unless* the module
    is "stable" - that is, none of its dependencies (direct or indirect)
    have changed.  The stability test is pretty important - otherwise ghc
    --make would always recompile TH modules even if nothing at all had
    changed, but it does require some extra plumbing to get this
    information from GhcMake into HscMain.
