Use `.hie` files for the Hyperlinker backend (#977)
# Summary This is a large architectural change to the Hyperlinker. * extract link (and now also type) information from `.hie` instead of doing ad-hoc SYB traversals of the `RenamedSource`. Also adds a superb type-on-hover feature (#715). * re-engineer the lexer to avoid needless string conversions. By going directly through GHC's `P` monad and taking bytestring slices, we avoid a ton of allocation and have better handling of position pragmas and CPP. In terms of performance, the Haddock side of things has gotten _much_ more efficient. Unfortunately, much of this is cancelled out by the increased GHC workload for generating `.hie` files. For the full set of boot libs (including `ghc`-the-library) * the sum of total time went down by 9-10% overall * the sum of total allocations went down by 6-7% # Motivation Haddock is moving towards working entirely over `.hi` and `.hie` files. This change means we no longer need the `RenamedSource` from `TypecheckedModule` (something which is _not_ in `.hi` files). # Details Along the way a bunch of things were fixed: * Cross package (and other) links are now more reliable (#496) * The lexer tries to recover from errors on every line (instead of at CPP boundaries) * `LINE`/`COLUMN` pragmas are taken into account * filter out zero length tokens before rendering * avoid recomputing the `ModuleName`-based `SrcMap` * remove the last use of `Documentation.Haddock.Utf8` (see #998) * restructure temporary folder logic for `.hi`/`.hie` model
