Remove support for haddock generation?

[mgsloan]

Haddock generation was for an FPHC feature. There are a number of open issues for it:

• buildDocs requires a "Main.hs" file #233 buildDocs requires a "Main.hs" file
• Haddock generation does not include data files #262 Haddock generation does not include data files
• Haddock generation: Cabal macros not available #264 Haddock generation: Cabal macros not available

I don't think this feature is useful anymore, because for local use, existing tools are sufficient. As such I propose removing the feature and closing these issues.

+1, stack handles it already

Another reason for this: haddock-api isn't yet updated for 7.10.2

I don't think that's true

Ah, correct! That's what I get for not doing a cabal update..

Also, the haddock-api stuff is used for id info generation, etc, so ought to be left in.
