-Xlog and the module system

[Nicolai Parlog]

 Hi Alan,

`-Xdiag:resolver` is awesome! :) I think these messages are great
candidates for info-level messages with the "modules" tag via unified
logging.

Something else I noticed, neither Xlog nor Xdiag help with problematic
configurations - both only start logging after everything checked out,
so with missing modules (for example), they do not provide additional
information.

I can understand that logging might not be the most pressing feature
this close to the release. :)

 so long ... Nicolai
