#1393: Tag source tree with successful bootstraps

-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Trying to keep up with ghc HEAD can be very frustrating. If you grab the
source tree at any point in time there only seems to be about a 10% chance
that the compiler can actually successfully bootstrap itself and all the
libraries.
I suggest that the nightly build should tag the tree when it has
successfully bootstrapped everything (for each platform). This way there
would be recent and working fall-back points.
Alternatively, make sure that bootstrapping works before pushing the
change into the main repo (but given the speed of recompilation this could
be painful).
