  * Make lexer monadic (avoid use of 'error')
  Ignore-this: 18ade47907e883b16d1ba5fadd6b6b4d
  
  Importing package metadata was failing because the packageAddHook added by the
  Search feature was parsing the package description, and if this had a lexical
  error (as far as the Haddock lexer was concerned) it would throw a runtime
  error which would eventually result in a Internal Error 500 error. The lexical
  now returns a value in the Either String monad, just like the parser, so that
  we can run 
  
      Haddock.tokenise >=> Haddock.parseHaddockParagraphs
  
  to savely lex and parse, without worrying about exceptions in pure code.

    M ./Distribution/Server/Features/Search/ExtractDescriptionTerms.hs -5 +4
    M ./Distribution/Server/Pages/Package.hs -1 +1
    M ./Distribution/Server/Pages/Package/HaddockLex.x -7 +8
