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.
