Title: haskell checker: Use hdevtools if available instead of ghc-mod

hdevtools is a program that I developed that has a feature for checking the syntax of haskell files. Its main advantage over ghc-mod is that it is significantly faster, while being just as accurate (both programs internally use the GHC Api).

This pull request adds support to syntastic for hdevtools. This pull request won't change/break anything for existing users of syntastic/ghc-mod. If the `hdevtools` program is not installed on the user's system then it will fall back to the old/current behaviour of using `ghc-mod`.
