     Reimplement shadowing on a per database basis.

     Summary:
     This commit reimplements shadowing on package databases by doing
     the shadowing calculation on a per-database basis: specifically,
     if a later package database shadows a package from the earlier
     databases, we first remove that package (and its transitive
     dependencies) before merging the databases together.

     This should also fix bootstrapping GHC HEAD with HEAD.
