Subject: [PATCH] Fix profiling targets

As noted by Guido, there are problems when using the hs-prof and
hs-prof-quick targets in the default configuration (compiling all
programs). The errors manifest in the form of wrong symbols during
compilation.

I knew that the hs-prof targets, which compiled multiple objects with
the '.o' suffix, could be problematic; but the objects that are
actually needed in the Template Haskell phase are very standard and
don't differ between the binaries (Constants, BasicTypes, JSON,
THH). What I didn't realise (although it's obvious) is that also the
hs_prof_quick targets (the final binaries) are also compiled with a
single suffix ('.prof_o'), which means that the object files are
actually compiled for the last binary.

This means that targets later in the HS_ALL_PROGS list would work
correct, but early targets, especially htools/htools, would fail.

So the obvious, and the single simple solution is to make these two
rules only work on a single binary at a time. This should be fine,
since one is looking at a specific problem usually, and it has the
advantage that the hs-prof step is much faster (since it wasn't
buildable in parallel anyway).

Thanks to Guido for finding and making the initial diagnose on this!
