Implement `-fno-load-initial-targets` flag
We add the new flag `-fno-load-initial-targets` which doesn't load all `Target`s
immediately but only computes the module graph for all `Target`s.
The user can then decide to load modules from that module graph using
the syntax:
ghci> :reload <Mod>
This will load everything in the module graph up to `Mod`.
The user can return to the initial state by using the builtin target
`none` to unload all modules.
ghci> :reload none
Is in principle identical to starting a new session with the
`-fno-load-initial-targets` flag.
The `-fno-load-initial-targets` flag allows for faster startup time of GHCi when a
user has lots of `Target`s.
We additionally extend the `:reload` command to accept multiple
`ModuleName`s. For example:
ghci> :reload <Mod1> <Mod2>
Loads all modules up to the modules `Mod1` and `Mod2`.
