Re-exporting names from a different package is problematic, because we
don't have access to the full documentation for the entity.  Currently
Haddock just ignores entities with no documentation, but this results
in bogus-looking empty documentation for many of the modules in the
haskell98 package.  So:

  - the documentation will now just list the name, as a link
    pointing to the location of the actual documentation.

  - now we don't attempt to link to these re-exported entities if
    they are referred to by the current module.

Additionally:

  - If there is no documentation in the current module, include
    just the Synopsis section (rather than just the documentation
    section, as it was before).  This just looks nicer and was on
    the TODO list.
