[Haskell-cafe] Disable LINE Pragma handling in GHC

[JP Moresmau]

Well, in an editor, there some operations that operate on solely on a file,
and some at the project level. I would make sense to me if typechecking
errors were reported against the original file (following the pragmas) while
lexing and outlining results would operate without (on the actual file
contents).
