(1) introduces the module GF.Infra.Concurreny with lifted concurrency
operators (to reduce uses of liftIO) and some additional concurrency
utilities, e.g. a function for sequential logging that is used in
both GF.CompileInParallel and GFServer.
(2) avoids leaving broken .gfo files behind if compilation is aborted.

On my laptop these changes speed up the full build of the RGL and example
grammars with 'cabal build' from ~95s to ~43s and the zero build from ~18s
to ~5s.
The main change is the introduction of the module GF.CompileInParallel that
replaces GF.Compile and the function GF.Compile.ReadFiles.getAllFiles. At
present, it is activated with the new -j flag, and it is only used when
combined with --make or --batch. In addition, to get parallel computations,
you need to add GHC run-time flags, e.g., +RTS -N -A20M -RTS, to the command
line.
The Setup.hs script has been modified to pass the appropriate flags to GF
for parallel compilation when compiling the RGL and example grammars, but you
need a recent version of Cabal for this to work (probably >=1.20).
Some additonal refactoring were made during this work. A new monad is used to
avoid warnings/error messages from different modules to be intertwined when
compiling in parallel, so some functios that were hardiwred to the IO or IOE
monads have been lifted to work in arbitrary monads that are instances in
the appropriate classes.

These flags now do what the say.

for liftIO in various places

I prefer small functions with descriptive names over large monilithic chunks
of code, so I grouped the compiler passes called from compileSourceModule
into funcitons named frontend, middle and backend. This also makes decisions
about which passes to run clearly visible up front.
Also made some small changes in GF.Compile.

In particular, the function compileOne has been moved to the new module
GF.CompileOne and its type has been changed from
compileOne :: ... -> CompileEnv -> FilePath -> IOE CompileEnv
to
compileOne :: ... -> SourceGrammar -> FilePath -> IOE OneCompiledModule
making it more suitable for use in a parallel compiler.
