Make these tests use four-space indentation, and ensure that
each module is imported on its own line. (I intend to use the latter
to figure out which subdirectories' tests can be executed in parallel.)
These changes usually move code to different lines. For the debugger tests,
specify the new line numbers in .inp files and expect them in .exp files.

Removed support for Managed C++ as a foreign language for the IL backend.
This is being removed for the following reasons:
* It is only supported by Microsoft, making it harder to use code
using it with other CIL platforms (e.g. Mono).
* It is not used in any of the standard library (only C# and IL are used).
* Removing it will simplify the dependencies and the build process.
* Microsoft have deprecated it in favour of C++/CLI.

Change `mmc --make' so that it no longer builds the external foreign
object files at the same time as it builds the target object file.
This allows one to build on the IL backend where building an external
foreign file assembly depends on having all the imported Mercury
assemblies built first.
Various fixes were also added so that `mmc --make --grade il' could make
an executable.
compiler/compile_target_code.m:
Change il_assemble so that we always build a .dll version
irrespective of whether it contains main or not, as MC++ or C#
code may refer to the dll.
Add Mercury/dlls to the search path for the C# and MC++
compilers.
s,/,\\\\,g in the C# filename as the MS C# compiler doesn't
understand / as a directory seperator.
Add the referenced dlls to the C# compilers command line.
Export maybe_pic_object_file_extension.
compiler/handle_options.m:
Fix a bug where copmute_grade incorrectly generated `hl.il'
instead of `il' as the grade name because we weren't always
considering the --target option.
compiler/make.m:
Add to the compilation_task_type type the alternatives
foreign_code_to_object_code and fact_table_foreign_code_file.
Add to the module_target_type type the alternatives
foreign_asm, foreign_object and factt_object.
compiler/make.dependencies.m:
Add code to handle the new module_target_type alternatives.
Add code to build the new alternatives to
compilation_task_type.
compiler/make.module_target.m:
Add rules to build the foreign_code_to_object_code and
fact_table_code_to_object_code.
compiler/make.program_target.m:
Determine the targets needed to be built for all the external
foreign files and add them to build target list.
compiler/make.util.m:
Add code to handle the new module_target_type alternatives.
Change write_target_file to output the correct name when
building the foreign_asm and foreign_object targets.
compiler/modules.m:
Move referenced_dlls into the interface for use by
`compile_target_code.m'.
Don't place dlls in a sub-directory because on the IL backend
the dlls are `part' of the executable file.
Add a `MkDir' argument to fact_table_file_name which
optionally creates a directory to store the generated
file_name in.
tests/hard_coded/foreign_proc_make.exp:
tests/hard_coded/foreign_proc_make.m:
tests/hard_coded/foreign_proc_make2.m:
Add a test case.
