#2295: Combined -odir/-hidir flag

--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Many of my command line invocations are:
{{{
ghc -odir obj -hidir obj ...
}}}
I nearly always set both {{{-odir}}} and {{{-hidir}}} to the same thing,
typically to just ask for the temporary files to not crowd the code files.
It would be useful if there was one combined flag, perhaps {{{-tdir}}}
(temporary), which gave default values to both {{{-odir}}} and
{{{-hidir}}}.
Another option (suggested by quicksilver) is that {{{-hidir}}} could
default to {{{-odir}}} unless set explicitly - since .hi files are really
just compiler details, as far as the user is concerned.
