refactor(grfn/xanthous): avoid unnecessary recompilation r/2850
hpack is a bit dumb when generating the list of modules for a cabal
file's component if multiple of them live in the same directory.
Specifically it seems to assume that all modules in the source-dirs
of a particular component are also necessary for its compilation.

This is quite bad in the case of xanthous since both library and
executable have source-dirs: src, so all modules will be compiled
twice: Once for the library and then again for the executable
despite it depending on the library (actually 4 times in total
since we need to build a unprofiled and profiled object for each
module…).

To fix this we just move Main.hs into its own directory and change
the executable's source-dirs, so hpack doesn't get confused anymore.
Since all components now have their own source-dirs, unnecessary
redundant compilation should be down to 0. The diff of the cabal
file shows quite nicely how many module recompilation we've gotten
rid of.
