 Currently checking out the source on windows requires two git checkouts.
 One for the GHC sources and one for the GHC-tarballs.

 This patch will make configure issue an error if compiling under windows
 and the GHC-tarballs folder is missing.

 On failure the user is told which command they need to run to get the
 tarballs or if they want configure to handle it for them configure provide
 the `--enable-tarballs-autodownload` flag.

 This is one part of the bigger #9218 patch which is being flit up to get
 it through.
