GHC 8 and Template Haskell

[Iavor Diatchki]

I left the "instanceD" functions as is, and added a new function
`instanceWithOverlapD` to avoid that problem:

instanceD :: CxtQ -> TypeQ -> [DecQ] -> DecQ
instanceWithOverlapD :: Maybe Overlap -> CxtQ -> TypeQ -> [DecQ] -> DecQ

The patch is here btw:
