references to names with '#' in them do not work in markup

[duncan]

For example from the ByteString? docs:

-- | /O(1)/ 'unsafePackAddressLen' provides constant-time construction of
-- 'ByteStrings' which is ideal for string literals. It packs a sequence
-- of bytes into a 'ByteString', given a raw 'Addr#' to the string, and
-- the length of the string.

Haddock copes fine with that type in the type signature, but not a reference in the markup.

  * Fix #112
  
  No link was generated for 'Addr#' in a doc comment. The reason was simply that
  the identifier didn't parse. We were using parseIdentifier from the GHC API,
  with a parser state built from 'defaultDynFlags'. If we pass the dynflags of
  the module instead, the right options are turned on on while parsing the
  identifer (in this case -XMagicHash), and the parse succeeds.
