Package keys (for linking/type equality) separated from package IDs.


This patch set makes us no longer assume that a package key is a human
readable string, leaving Cabal free to "do whatever it wants" to allocate
keys; we'll look up the PackageId in the database to display to the user.
This also means we have a new level of qualifier decisions to make at the
package level, and rewriting some Safe Haskell error reporting code to DTRT.

Additionally, we adjust the build system to use a new ghc-cabal output
Make variable PACKAGE_KEY to determine library names and other things,
rather than concatenating PACKAGE/VERSION as before.

Adds a new `-this-package-key` flag to subsume the old, erroneously named
`-package-name` flag, and `-package-key` to select packages by package key.

RFC: The md5 hashes are pretty tough on the eye, as far as the file
system is concerned :(

ToDo: safePkg01 test had its output updated, but the fix is not really right:
the rest of the dependencies are truncated due to the fact the we're only
grepping a single line, but ghc-pkg is wrapping its output.

ToDo: In a later commit, update all submodules to stop using -package-name
and use -this-package-key.  For now, we don't do it to avoid submodule
explosion.
