This means that `html-test`, `latex-test`, `hoogle-test`, and
`hypsrc-test` now only depend on GHC boot libs. So we should
now be able to build and run these as part of GHC's testsuite. \o/
The reference output has changed very slightly, in three ways:
  * we don't convert quotes back into `"` as the `xml` lib did
  * we don't add extra ` ` as the `xml` lib did
  * we now remove the entire footer `div` (instead of just emptying it)

# 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

'spanToNewline' is used to help break apart the source into lines which
can then be partioned into CPP and non-CPP chunks. It is important that
'spanToNewline' not break apart tokens, so it needs to properly handle
things like
  * block comments, possibly nested
  * string literals, possibly multi-line
  * CPP macros, possibly multi-line
String literals in particular were not being properly handled. The fix
is to to fall back in 'Text.Read.lex' to help lex things that are not
comments.
Fixes #837.
