Moving Haddock *development* out of GHC tree

[Edward Z. Yang]

In an ideal world, all GHC developers would also think about how
to add Haddock support for the wonderful features they are adding,
and code them up themselves.

In practice, Haddock support has never stopped a feature from
getting into GHC, but I think people who do add features should also
be willing to roll up their sleeves and help the Haddock folks
support them, though maybe at a later point in time...
