I think these modules are not being well-cared for in base, so can we
solve this by instead removing them from base, and making SafeSemaphore
the recommended library for this functionality?

The HP can then add the SafeSemaphore package instead if it wants to
keep it.

We would need to remove:
* Control.Concurrent.QSem
* Control.Concurrent.QSemN
* Control.Concurrent.SampleVar
* The Control.Concurrent re-exports of the above 3 modules
* Control.Concurrent.mergeIO
* Control.Concurrent.nmergeIO

Patch attached.


Thanks
Ian
