Add a .dir-locals.el that configures emacs' treatment of tabs.

The Haskell code uses tabs for indentation, and displays well with
tab-width set to 2.  So, I created a .dir-locals.el (applies to all
files opened in emacs at or below ./), which sets 'tab-width' to 2,
turns on 'indent-tabs-mode', and highlights leading spaces in
'haskell-mode'.
