[Haddock] Documentation for data family instances

I just sent a patch to show data instances in HTML.
I had to work around the existing infrastructure's assumption that every declaration consists of a top-level name (with
documentation) and subordinate names (with documentation). Data families don't follow that rule: they consist of a top-level name
(the family declaration) with anonymous subordinates (the instances) with subordinate names (data constructors). I changed
'DeclInfo' to allow both structures, which required touching a lot of code mostly in 'Create.hs'. This seemed like the natural
thing to do, but I'm not positive it's the right design.
There's a problem with the current design. If Haddock can't find the documentation for a data family declaration, it won't show
documentation for instances or constructors.
There's also a bug where a data family declaration shows up in multiple modules. This appears to be a preexisting bug.
