 ghci: don't let ctags/etags overwrite source files

 A ource file which was accidently passed as parameter into `:ctags` or
 `:etags`
 can be overwritten by tag data. This patch updates documentation to avoid
 confusion in commands usage and prevents `collateAndWriteTags` from
 modifying
 existing source files.
