Rip out object splitting
The splitter is an evil Perl script that processes assembler code. Its job can be done better by the linker's --gc-sections flag. GHC passes this flag to the linker whenever -split-sections is passed on the command line. This is based on @DemiMarie's D2768. Fixes Trac #11315 Fixes Trac #9832 Fixes Trac #8964 Fixes Trac #8685 Fixes Trac #8629

## Miscellaneous
-To change the default behaviour of Hadrian with respect to building split
-objects, override the `splitObjects` setting of the `Flavour` record:
-```haskell
-userFlavour :: Flavour
-userFlavour = defaultFlavour { name = "user", splitObjects = return False }

Hadrian prints various progress info during the build. You can change the colours
used by default by overriding `buildProgressColour` and `successColour`:
