[Chart] Splitting gtk stuff into a separate package

[Eugene Kirpichov]

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the patch - however it misses one thing: plotWindow from
Graphics.Rendering.Chart.Simple is not extracted into a thing of its own,
and, as it is under an #ifdef HAVE_GTK, it is essentially lost.

Alas, as I just transitioned to a Mac and am having great difficulties
getting gtk+ to build, I am not able to do this change myself at the moment
(and my previous patch was against an older version of Chart).
But there I had extracted plotWindow into
Graphics.Rendering.Chart.Simple.Gtk and moved it to chart-gtk; on the go, I
had to move most internal functions from Graphics.Rendering.Chart.Simple
into a module Graphics.Rendering.Chart.Simple.Internal that exports
everything.
