Show instance for SrcSpan

[Johan Tibell]

Aside: I really miss derived Show instances in GHC. The Outputable class is
only really useful if you already know how things work. If you e.g. want to
see the AST used to represent some piece of Haskell code, in all its glory,
the Outputable instances aren't useful because they elide too much
information.
