GHC 7.8.1: Many haddock-related complaints from 'ghc-pkg check'

[Conal Elliott]

My concern about the volume of warnings here is that it distracts from the
info I'm after, namely broken packages. One coping strategy seems to be
using the --simple-output flag to 'ghc-pkg check'. In that case, the
haddock warnings are suppressed, and I see just a list of broken package
names. A little terser than I'm after, but it helps.
