#3559: split ghci modules off into their own package

-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
ghci code should be split into bits that are always compiled (and always
work), and modules that are in a separate `ghci` package. The current
situation means that clients of the GHC API cannot specify whether or not
they need the ghci modules (or other code inside `GHCI` ifdefs), and means
that clients may accidentally end up using ghci-only interfaces without
realising it. This is not just hypothetical: haddock has grown a
dependency on ghci code: #3558.
