    Significant clean-up of the handling of hi-boot files. 
    Previously, when compling A.hs, we loaded A.hi-boot, and
    it went into the External Package Table.  It was strange
    but it worked.  This tidy up stops it going anywhere;
    it's just read in, and typechecked into a ModDetails.
    
    All this was on the way to improving the handling of
    instances in hs-boot files, something Chris Ryder wanted.
    I think they work quite sensibly now.  
    
    If I've got all this right (have not had a chance to
    fully test it) we can merge it into STABLE.
