#1248: Use sensible flags for ghc -M

----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
The `ghc -M` dependency analyser requires you to specify flags in a very
obscure way:
{{{
ghc -M -opt-dep-f -opt-depFunnyMakefile -optdep-include-pkg-deps
}}}
Simon M writes: "It's historical (because `mkdependHS` used to be a
separate script), but we can't just remove it because there's overlap
between the `-optdep` options and the main GHC options. I don't mind
introducing new names for the relevant options."
So the task is to decide names for the flags, implement the change, and
document it.
(Currently `DriverMkDepend.hs` does its own flaggery.)
