Switch from -this-package-key to -this-unit-id.
A small cosmetic change, but we have to do a bit of work to actually support it: - Cabal submodule update, so that Cabal passes us -this-unit-id when we ask for it. This includes a Cabal renaming to be consistent with Unit ID, which makes ghc-pkg a bit more scrutable. - Build system is updated to use -this-unit-id rather than -this-package-key, to avoid deprecation warnings. Needs a version test so I resurrected the old test we had (sorry rwbarton!) - I've *undeprecated* -package-name, so that we are in the same state as GHC 7.10, since the "correct" flag will have only entered circulation in GHC 8.0. - I removed -package-key. Since we didn't deprecate -package-id I think this should not cause any problems for users; they can just change their code to use -package-id. - The package database is indexed by UNIT IDs, not component IDs. I updated the naming here. - I dropped the signatures field from ExposedModule; nothing was using it, and instantiatedWith from the package database field. - ghc-pkg was updated to use unit ID nomenclature, I removed the -package-key flags but I decided not to add any new flags for now.
