#1970: ghci -hide-all-packages gives bad error message

Comment (by dfranke):
The "failed to load interface" errors are clear enough, though maybe
something along the lines of "Unable to initialize GHCi: required package
'base' is hidden" would be better. It just shouldn't be reporting that
this is a bug in GHC when clearly an attempt to run ghci with necessary
libraries hidden is a case of PEBKAC.
