Major refactoring of Data/Generics.
This also affects the compiler (because of deriving issues).
This is an intermediate commit.
The library is supposed to compile fine.
But the deriving stuff for Data needs to be revised.
The testsuite for Data/Generics will not pass.
gread is broken at the moment.
So it is strongly recommended not to cvs upd for a few hours or a day.

Detailed description of changes:
- Split up Data/Dynamic into Data/Typeable and Data/Dynamic.
  (This makes clear what part is about TypeReps and cast vs.
   dynamics. The latter is not needed by Data/Generics.)
- Renamed Data/include/Dynamic.h -> Typeable.h to end confusion.
- Split up Data/Generics.hs in a set of modules.
- Revised class Data:
  - Got rid of gunfold but added fromConstr as more primtive one
  - Revised representations of constructors
  - Revised treatment of primitive types
- Revised type of gmapQ; preserved old gmapQ as gmapL
- Added a module Data/Types.hs for treatment of types as values.

This is going somewhere.

GHC's instance Show Handle is wrong, because it is impure.  This
commit makes the Show instance pure by restricting what it shows to
just the filename.

I moved the filename from the Handle__ (the mutable portion of the
Handle) to the Handle proper, to facilitate this.  This might result
in a small performance improvment because Handle__ is now slightly
smaller.

Also added:

  GHC.Handle.hShow :: Handle -> IO String

which provides the old functionality, but now in the IO monad.
Pending discussion on the libraries list, this may be exposed by
System.IO.

Also, while I was here, I did something I've been meaning to do for a
long time: change the godawful IOError Show instance.

Previously:

   illegal operation
   Action: hGetChar
   Handle: {loc=<stdin>,type=semi-closed,binary=False,buffering=block (8192)}
   Reason: handle is closed
   File: <stdin>

Now:

   <stdin>: hGetChar: illegal operation (handle is closed)

This is going to result in a bunch of test failures, but I'll deal
with those later.

Add raiseIO# primop.

This is part of ensuring that exceptions are *precise* in the IO monad
(as opposed to imprecise exceptions in the pure world).  If we allow
the strictness analyser to see the definition of throwIO:

  throwIO e = IO $ \s -> throw e

then it might re-order evaluation in the IO monad, with the result
that we get _|_ instead of an exception, or one kind of exception when
we were expecting another.  We therefore must prevent the strictness
analyser from doing these reorderings in the IO monad.  Hiding the
definition of throwIO by making it a primop solves part of the problem
(there's more to come).
