Plan for GHC 8.6.1

I have one major feature planned: -XDerivingVia. I haven't made a
patch yet, since the idea itself is still technically going through
the proposal process at [1]. But the feedback seems pretty positive,
so I think I'll submit it to the committee next week for final
consideration.

There is an implementation that's 99% already at [2], so there
shouldn't be much of a delay in getting it to Phabricator once the
committee gives the go-ahead.
