GHC 8.8 tracking ticket

[quasicomputational]

Tracking ticket for GHC 8.8 issues, mostly dependencies. Updated 2020-05-30:

All packages are compatible with GHC-8.8, but CI doesn't include a GHC-8.8 job yet.

I think we are going yo replace yaml with HsYaml soon so we 'll need to track it instead

#1324 took care of prettyprinter and turtle, but the other dependencies still need updating.

[sjakobi]

I've updated the issue description. We're getting closer! :)

[quasicomputational]

Down to 4 blockers now.

[sjakobi]

asn1-encoding got a compatible release.

Once we have a release that is compatible with GHC-8.8, we should make sure to re-add the Dhall packages to Stackage Nightly, since they were disabled in the recent switch to GHC-8.8.

@sjakobi: I already opened a pull request to do so: commercialhaskell/stackage#4860
