Reading type families from interface files

[Jan Stolarek]

Say I have:

module Foo where
 type family F a
 type instance F Int = Char

mi_fam_insts stores type family instances, in that case "F Int = Char". What I would like to load 
is type family declaration: "F a". If that does not exist already I wonder whether information 
about type family declarations should be cached in ModDetails in the same way md_fam_insts caches 
information about instances?

Rationale: I want to load information about tyfam declarations in FamInst.checkFamInstConsistency 
and pass these definitions of type families to FamInst.checkForConflicts. My plan is to verify 
whether an open type family is injective at the same time when looking for conflicts.
