Add support for generating bytecode objects
This commit adds the `-fwrite-byte-code` option which makes GHC emit a
`.gbc` file which contains a serialised representation of bytecode.
The bytecode can be loaded by the compiler to avoid having to
reinterpret a module when using the bytecode interpreter (for example,
in GHCi).
There are also the new options:
* -gbcdir=<DIR>: Specify the directory to place the gbc files
* -gbcsuf=<suffix>: Specify the suffix for gbc files
The option `-fbyte-code-and-object-code` now implies
`-fwrite-byte-code`.
These performance tests fail due to https://github.com/haskell/directory/issues/204
