Allow `base < 5` for package `array`

Hi,

It is best only only allow versions that are known to compile.
Breaking changes in `base` might break the build otherwise.
In this case, as no other changes are needed, we don't need
a new release of `array`. A hackage revision of array-0.5.8.0,
bumping the base bound to allow base-4.21 will be sufficient.

Along with this, I would appreciate if a commit bumping the bound
in the cabal file was also pushed to the repository, with an
appropriate tag like 0.5.8.0-r2 (as there already seems to be
an r1 revision).

Thanks,
Zubin
