[GHC] #871: compiler bug concerning arrays

Hello GHC,

array with such bounds can't be build just because its number of
elements is larger than maxInt. it seems that array creation routines
should check this condition and then check that bytes required for
array are not greater than malloc/allocArray#/allocByteArray# can
accept as its parameters
