Preparation for the 2.10 release (#972)

* Update CHANGES for 2.10

* Remove profiling flags from Cabal file

They result in `cabal check` warnings and probably don’t need to be
hard-coded.

* Remove commented-out Cryptol server references

The code no longer exists, so we’ll never uncomment these.

Equivalent functionality is now provided by `cryptol-remote-api`.

* Update references to version numbers in README. Closes #719.

# 2.10.0
## Language changes
* Cryptol now supports primality checking at the type level. The
type-level predicate `prime` is true when its parameter passes the
Miller-Rabin probabilistic primality test implemented in the GMP
library.
* The `Z p` type is now a `Field` when `p` is prime, allowing additional
operations on `Z p` values.
* The literals `0` and `1` can now be used at type `Bit`, as
alternatives for `False` and `True`, respectively.
## New features
* The interpreter now includes a number of primitive functions that
allow faster execution of a number of common cryptographic functions,
including the core operations of AES and SHA-2, operations on GF(2)
polynomials (the existing `pmod`, `pdiv`, and `pmult` functions), and
some operations on prime field elliptic curves. These functions are
useful for implementing higher-level algorithms, such as many
post-quantum schemes, with more acceptable performance than possible
when running a top-to-bottom Cryptol implementation in the
interpreter.
For a full list of the new primitives, see the new Cryptol
[`SuiteB`](https://github.com/GaloisInc/cryptol/blob/master/lib/SuiteB.cry)
and
[`PrimeEC`](https://github.com/GaloisInc/cryptol/blob/master/lib/PrimeEC.cry)
modules.
* The REPL now allows lines containing only comments, making it easier
to copy and paste examples.
* The interpreter has generally improved performance overall.
* Several error messages are more comprehensible and less verbose.
* Cryptol releases and nightly builds now include an RPC server
alongside the REPL. This provides an alternative interface to the same
interpreter and proof engine available from the REPL, but is
better-suited to programmatic use. Details on the protocol used by the
server are available
[here](https://github.com/GaloisInc/argo/blob/master/docs/Protocol.rst).
A Python client for this protocol is available
[here](https://github.com/GaloisInc/argo/tree/master/python).
* Windows builds are now distributed as both `.tar.gz` and `.msi` files.
