If we can't read the old interface file for some reason (eg. it isn't
there, or it has the wrong version), then output the error if
-ddump-hi-diffs is on.  It used to be part of -ddump-rn-trace, but
-ddump-hi-diffs seems more logical, since it covers all the other
information about why a module is being recompiled.
