GHC 8.2.1-rc1 source tarball availability

[George Colpitts]

I don't know how to produce a binary distribution but I did do a build on
Mac OS 10.12.4 with XCode 8.3. It went flawlessly and subjectively seemed
much faster than previous builds. I then did a cabal install of hlint and
verified that hlint worked.
