Drop support for GHC 7.8 and older

Resolves #1919 * Bump minimum `base` version bound in purescript.cabal so that GHC 7.8 and older get errors at dependency resolution time instead of compile time * Update "tested-with" section in purescript.cabal * Update minimum supported version to GHC 7.10.1 in INSTALL.md. * Use --resolver=nightly for the suggested stack install command (the latest lts release is often out of date and unsupported) * Remove the travis builds which use GHC < 7.10. We will also need to update http://www.purescript.org/download/. I think that's everything.
