Bump deps: criterion, base, text, unix-compat, vector

[ysangkok]

Includes #149.

This enables building on GHC 9.4 and 9.2, which can be tested using e.g.:

cabal test -w ghc-9.4.1 --constraint='text>=2.0' --constraint='unix-compat>=0.6' --constraint='criterion>=1.6'

I haven't set the constraint for vector yet, as it depends on snap-core bumping its bound. But it can be tested with --allow-newer='snap-core:vector' --constraint='vector>=0.13'

@mightybyte : Could you please push the button to run CI?

[ysangkok]

I realized that I had forgotten to add 9.2 to CI. It is now done. The results can be seen here: https://github.com/ysangkok/snap-server/runs/7885561429?check_suite_focus=true

Also, I removed the bump of transformers since I'd prefer bumping when mtl is also bumped, in a separate PR.

Would be great if 9.4 also was covered by CI. Is there an obstacle?

[ysangkok]

@andreasabel Indeed it would be nice to run CI for 9.4, but it is blocked on basvandijk/threads#17. I was optimistically thinking that if we could get threads updated, there would be no need to work on excluding 9.4 on CI from running the testsuite here in snap-server, which would be necessary in case threads never updates. But even though the threads library is very old, it looks like @basvandijk is still active, so I'd thinking we'd just wait a couple of weeks. By then, if there is no reply, I can take over the package, it doesn't look like it needs a lot of maintenance. At that point, I would add another commit to this PR, adding CI for GHC 9.4.

Does it sound like a sensible plan?

EDIT: Released threads-0.5.1.7 and added CI for 9.4 to this PR

[andreasabel]

Is unix-2.8 picked up yet? (Check output of cabal-plan.) It is so that process so far limits unix < 2.8.

[ysangkok]

It wasn't picked up, and as you mention, it doesn't build with unix-2.8. So I removed that change from this PR.
