hs_add_root() RTS API removal
Before ghc-7.2 hs_add_root() had to be used to initialize haskell
modules when haskell was called from FFI.
commit a52ff7619e8b7d74a9d933d922eeea49f580bca8
("Change the way module initialisation is done (#3252, #4417)")
removed needs for hs_add_root() and made function a no-op.
For backward compatibility '__stginit_<module>' symbol was
not removed.
This change removes no-op hs_add_root() function and unused
'__stginit_<module>' symbol from each haskell module.
