NMU: postgresql-simple

[phadej]

Release was asked for lpsmith/postgresql-simple#252 explicitly on Mar 31,

I also made a few small .cabal adjustments in a PR lpsmith/postgresql-simple#253

[phadej]

Sent an email to Leon. This starts a countdown.

[phadej]

Emailed Leon again. Will do NMU on Friday 25.5 if there are no reply.

I'll prepare release on Monday/Tuesday. Are there any volunteers to review?

[gwils]

I'm happy to review.

@gwils I set up a branch

lpsmith/postgresql-simple@v0.5.3.0...hackage-trustees:release-0.5.4.0

Travis build: https://travis-ci.org/hackage-trustees/postgresql-simple/builds/382566872

This is the text I intent to tag the release with:

GHC-8.4 support

This is (going to be) Non-Maintainer Upload, therefore only
necessary changes are included compared to 0.5.3.0.

At the moment of writing, there are breaking changes in the `master` branch also,
for example move to use `Only` package.

Included changes are cherry-picked from master:
- Compatibility with Semigroup/Monoid proposal by Ben Gamari
- Add some lower-bounds by Oleg Grenrus

In addition there are small changes to .cabal file:
- `cabal.version: >= 1.10`:
    - added `default-language: Haskell2010`
    - changed `extensions` to `default-extensions`
- `tested-with` field with GHC 7.6.3 ... 8.4.2
- `source-repository this` points to `hackage-trustees` repository

The diff looks good to me, and it builds as far back as 7.6 on my machine.
I have some small recommendations for your tag message:
