[GHC] #9628: Add Annotations to the AST to simplify source to source conversions

[Alan & Kim Zimmerman]

I am trying to avoid having a type parameter for DynFlags, and so far the
only thing that needs it is the hooks. I am currently working it through
without hooks in DynFlags, and when I have something concrete I will ask
againfor suggestions.

I just wanted an initial test of the waters to make sure there was no a
priori reason not to do it.
