* Fix parent position in RnNames.nubAvails
- `RnNames.nubAvails', which amalgamates AvailInfo items that belong to the
same parent, needs to be careful that the parent name occurs first if it is
in the list of subnames at all. (Otherwise, we can get funny export items
in ifaces.)

I'm interested - what goes wrong if the parent doesn't occur first? I noticed
that it often didn't when I was working on this code. I checked and it was the
same in 6.4.2, so I assumed it must be ok, and I didn't encounter any problems
except that the pretty-printing code had to print out the parent name.
Cheers,
Simon
