When the con_desc field of an info table was made into a relative
reference, this had the side effect of making the profiling fields
(closure_desc and closure_type) also relative, but only when compiling
via C, and the heap profiler was still treating them as absolute,
leading to crashes when profiling with -hd or -hy.
This patch fixes up the story to be consistent: these fields really
should be relative (otherwise we couldn't make shared versions of the
profiling libraries), so I've made them relative and fixed up the RTS
to know about this.

Now that constructor info tables contain the name of the constructor,
we can generate useful heap profiles without requiring the whole
program and libraries to be compiled with -prof. So now, "+RTS -hT"
generates a heap profile for any program, dividing the profile by
constructor. It wouldn't be hard to add support for grouping
constructors by module, or to restrict the profile to certain
constructors/modules/packages.
This means that for the first time we can get heap profiles for GHCi,
which was previously impossible because the byte-code
interpreter and linker don't work with -prof.

We recently discovered that they aren't a win any more, and just cost
code size.

This patch adds data constructor names into their info tables.
This is useful in the ghci debugger. It replaces the old scheme which
was based on tracking data con names in the linker.

Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to
Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree
without losing history, so here goes.
The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it
contained is now at the top level. The build system now makes no
pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system.
No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of
instability while we fix the dependencies. A straightforward build
should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions.
Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.
