Use hackage dependency count to rank "of a kind" matches about hoogle HOT 2 CLOSED

Each package already has a priority assigned, see Hoogle.Type.Item.itemPriority. Currently, that value is set in Hoogle.Language.Haskell.setPriority where Prelude=0 (highest priority), base=1 and everything else =2. Combined with only searching the platform by default, you can consider the haskell-platform to be higher priority than everything else. I'd still keep the Prelude boost, but the other things should be equivalent to use, so it seems like a good idea.

I now use the popularity rankings of reverse dependencies to order results, see the new code at https://github.com/ndmitchell/hogle/ - in particular https://github.com/ndmitchell/hogle/blob/master/src/Input/Reorder.hs. As expected Map the module and Map the data type are the first two hits at http://hoogle.haskell.org/?hoogle=Map.
