#656: Provde a way to return values as Dynamic from the GHC API

Requested by Keith Hanna: the GHC API should have a way to return the
value of an expression or statement from {{{runStmt}}} as a {{{Dynamic}}}.
This would let you inspect the returned value in the client, whereas
currently the only workaround is to compile more code to inspect the value
and communicate the results back via some mutable state.
For reference, hs-plugins has a similar feature.
Depends on Task #652.
