Support generating HIE files
Adds a `-fenable-ide-info` flag which instructs GHC to generate `.hie` files (see the wiki page: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/HIEFiles). This is a rebased version of Zubin Duggal's (@wz1000) GHC changes for his GSOC project, as posted here: https://gist.github.com/wz1000/5ed4ddd0d3e96d6bc75e095cef95363d. Test Plan: ./validate Reviewers: bgamari, gershomb, nomeata, alanz, sjakobi Reviewed By: alanz, sjakobi Subscribers: alanz, hvr, sjakobi, rwbarton, wz1000, carter Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D5239
