Resource management in ExceptT stacks

[3noch]

I would like some feedback from the "horse's mouth" so to speak:

What do you guys do?

Relates to #641

@3noch have you tried e.g. enter (Nat runResourceT) yourHandlers? The #676 would solve it from the inside of servant, but AFAICS enter (Nat runResourceT) should work?

Also Handler is now MonadBaseControl IO, so you can always use that (already with current servant, as there is MonadBaseControl b (ExceptT e b)

[phadej]

Both old type and newtype Handler's are instance of MonadBaseControl IO, so you can use lifted-base's bracket

@phadej Thanks. That's how I ended up doing it.
