[Haskell-cafe] Hdevtools cabal support

[Maxim Kulkin]

This is what I do currently, although I'm not sure if this won't cause
troubles.

As of ghc-mod: as far as I understand (didn't dig into this much, just read
in hdevtools documentation), hdevtools is just ghc-mod with client-server
architecture, so that it supports incremental recompiles (and thus faster
for subsequent invocations). If this is so, I do not see reason to continue
supporting ghc-mod.
