[m-rev.] diff/for review: break up make_hlds.m

[Ralph Becket]

> Divide make_hlds.m into submodules of manageable size.

> 	Distribute all the code that was previous here to new submodules.
> 	Include those submodules. Keep the existing interface of this module
> 	by defining predicates that do nothing except call the actual
> 	implementation in one of those submodules. The only changes visible
> 	from outside are the renaming of a predicate and the creation of a
> 	second name, make_hlds_qual_info, for qual_info. Both changes are
> 	designed to avoid ambiguity in the presence of intermodule
> 	optimization.

Excellent!  I presume that in future we should call the new modules
directly rather than go via make_hlds, or is that a bad idea?
