Tidy up the treatment of dead binders

This patch does a lot of tidying up of the way that dead variables are
handled in Core.  Just the sort of thing to do on an aeroplane.

* The tricky "binder-swap" optimisation is moved from the Simplifier
  to the Occurrence Analyser.  See Note [Binder swap] in OccurAnal.
  This is really a nice change.  It should reduce the number of
  simplifier iteratoins (slightly perhaps).  And it means that
  we can be much less pessimistic about zapping occurrence info
  on binders in a case expression.

* For example:
case x of y { (a,b) -> e }
  Previously, each time around, even if y,a,b were all dead, the
  Simplifier would pessimistically zap their OccInfo, so that we
  can't see they are dead any more.  As a result virtually no
  case expression ended up with dead binders.  This wasn't Bad
  in itself, but it always felt wrong.

* I added a check to CoreLint to check that a dead binder really
  isn't used.  That showed up a couple of bugs in CSE. (Only in
  this sense -- they didn't really matter.)

* I've changed the PprCore printer to print "_" for a dead variable.
  (Use -dppr-debug to see it again.)  This reduces clutter quite a
  bit, and of course it's much more useful with the above change.

* Another benefit of the binder-swap change is that I could get rid of
  the Simplifier hack (working, but hacky) in which the InScopeSet was
  used to map a variable to a *different* variable. That allowed me
  to remove VarEnv.modifyInScopeSet, and to simplify lookupInScopeSet
  so that it doesn't look for a fixpoint.  This fixes no bugs, but
  is a useful cleanup.

* Roman pointed out that Id.mkWildId is jolly dangerous, because
  of its fixed unique.  So I've

     - localied it to MkCore, where it is private (not exported)

     - renamed it to 'mkWildBinder' to stress that you should only
       use it at binding sites, unless you really know what you are
       doing

     - provided a function MkCore.mkWildCase that emodies the most

RichTokenStream support

This patch adds support for raw token streams, that contain more
information than normal token streams (they contains comments at
least). The "lexTokenStream" function brings this support to the
Lexer module. In addition to that, functions have been added to
the GHC module to make easier to recover of the token stream of
a module ("getTokenStream").

Building on that, I added what could be called "rich token
stream": token stream to which have been added the source string
corresponding to each token, the function addSourceToToken takes
a StringBuffer and a starting SrcLoc and a token stream and build
this rich token stream. getRichTokenStream is a convenience
function to get a module rich token stream. "showRichTokenStream"
use the SrcLoc information in such a token stream to get a string
similar to the original source (except unsignificant
whitespaces). Thus "putStrLn . showRichTokenStream =<<
getRichTokenStream s mod" should print a valid module source, the
interesting part being to modify the token stream between the get
and the show of course.
