#3783: Allow --make and --fno-code

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Loading a largish project in ghci is roughly twice as fast as using `ghc
--make` (and hugs is roughly 6 times faster than ghci). Presumably the
majority of the extra time that `ghc --make` takes compared to `ghci` is
down to generating object code, though some will be serialising `.hi`
files.
So the feature request is to let us use `ghc --make -fno-code`. The
purpose is to check the code for errors, it would of course write out
`.hi` files so that re-running `ghc --make -fno-code` only recompiles the
changed files, like `:reload` in ghci.
