Follow-up to 92cc704 (drop GHC 7 support). Remove code that was only needed for GHC versions older than 8: - Remove CPP macros always true with base >= 4.9: APPLICATIVE_MONAD, FUNCTOR_IDENTITY_IN_BASE, MONOID_IN_PRELUDE, NATURAL_IN_BASE, SEMIGROUP_IN_BASE - Remove conditional dependencies on semigroups, fail, void, ghc-prim - Always enable -Wcompat (was conditional on GHC >= 8.0) - Remove doctest buildability conditions for GHC < 7.10 - Remove unused Control.Applicative imports (in Prelude since base 4.8) Assisted-by: GLM-5 <[email protected]>

Looks a lot cleaner. Less stuff to worry about is always good.

Not really. I would like to keep support for GHC 8 at least for the 1.8 release.
When keeping the compatibility becomes very onerous I don't mind dropping it.

Fair, support for <9.0 isn't too hard (at the moment).
