GHC 8.6.1 release status

[Alec Theriault]

As far as I can tell, these changes aren’t yet in GHC 8.6:

* https://github.com/haskell/haddock/pull/905 <https://github.com/haskell/haddock/pull/905> is on Haddock’s 8.6 branch, but GHC 8.6 hasn’t yet bumped the submodule.
* https://github.com/haskell/haddock/pull/893 <https://github.com/haskell/haddock/pull/893> is not even yet on Haddock’s 8.6 branch. Note that this one requires matching GHC-side changes to be cherry-picked too.

I think the idea is loosely for GHC 8.6 to ship whatever is in the Haddock `ghc-8.6` branch.
