FYI: removing `fibon`

[Michal Terepeta]

Hi all,

I wanted to remove `fibon` (from `nofib`) - it's broken, abandoned
upstream (no commits in 5 years) and I'm not aware of anyone using it
or working on it. At this point I don't think it makes sense to try to
revive it - I'd prefer putting the time/effort into getting a few new
benchmarks.

There were already discussions about removing it in
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11501

If someone is actually working on getting it to work again, please
shout!

Thanks,
Michal

PS. I've tried uploading the patch to Phab, but I think it's just too
large (arc is crashing). So I've uploaded it to github:
