First hack at supporting standalone packages.

What this means is that a non-GHC fptools project which sets
$(PACKAGE) in a Makefile should do something reasonable.  It works by
testing whether $(ProjectNameShort) == "ghc", and if it isn't, then:

 - it turns off all the machinery that deals with installing the
   package for use with the in-place compiler and a (future)
   installation of GHC.

 - instead, it enables a rule that installs the package using
   the installed $(GHC_PKG).  The configure script still needs
   updating to detect this, so 'make install' won't work yet.

 - $(GHC) is used instead of $(GHC_INPLACE) for compiling Haskell
   code.

Apart from the detection of ghc-pkg in configure, this should be all
that's needed to get source distributions and 'make install' going.

Improve the dynamic-linking story
---------------------------------

Arrange proper initialisation for the dynamic linker.  Whenever the dynamic linker does
anything (Linker.linkExpr), it first initialises itself, arranging to only do so once
of course.

"Initialising itself" includes loading any .o files, libraries, and packages specified
on the command line.  The main effect of all this is to fix a Template Haskell problem,
which happened when a TH link needed some C library that it couldn't link.  Now it does.

While I was at it, I tidied up main/Main.hs quite a bit.  This is a delicate area (handling
the command line arguments), but I don't believe I broke anything!  All the libraries
build, and lots of tests run.

Wolfgang: I also jiggled the darwin_TARGET_OS stuff a little in Linker.lhs, but again
I think the net effect is zero. You might want to check.

Change the way SRTs are represented:

Previously, the SRT associated with a function or thunk would be a
sub-list of the enclosing top-level function's SRT.  But this approach
can lead to lots of duplication: if a CAF is referenced in several
different thunks, then it may appear several times in the SRT.
Let-no-escapes compound the problem, because the occurrence of a
let-no-escape-bound variable would expand to all the CAFs referred to
by the let-no-escape.

The new way is to describe the SRT associated with a function or thunk
as a (pointer+offset,bitmap) pair, where the pointer+offset points
into some SRT table (the enclosing function's SRT), and the bitmap
indicates which entries in this table are "live" for this closure.
The bitmap is stored in the 16 bits previously used for the length
field, but this rarely overflows.  When it does overflow, we store the
bitmap externally in a new "SRT descriptor".

Now the enclosing SRT can be a set, hence eliminating the duplicates.

Also, we now have one SRT per top-level function in a recursive group,
where previously we used to have one SRT for the whole group.  This
helps keep the size of SRTs down.

Bottom line: very little difference most of the time.  GHC itself got
slightly smaller.  One bad case of a module in GHC which had a huge
SRT has gone away.

While I was in the area:

  - Several parts of the back-end require bitmaps.  Functions for
    creating bitmaps are now centralised in the Bitmap module.

  - We were trying to be independent of word-size in a couple of
    places in the back end, but we've now abandoned that strategy so I
    simplified things a bit.
