Change -dppr-ticks to -dsuppress-ticks
I spent about two hours today hunting fruitlessly for a simplifier
bug (when fixing Trac #13255), only to find that it was caused by
-ddump-X silently suppressing all ticks in Core.
I think this has happened to me once before.
So I've changed to make tick-printing on by default (like coercions,
etc), with a flag -dsuppress-ticks (like -dsuppress-coercions) to
suppress them.
Blargh.
-dppr-ticks is still there, but deprecated.
