Dropping containers support for old GHC versions

[Daniel Cartwright]

I am +1 on this.

GHC 7.0 is 8 years old
GHC 7.2 is 7 years old
GHC 7.4 is 6 years old

On a related note, I find it strange when looking through source code for
'containers'/other Haskell libraries and still see notes about supporting
non-GHC Haskell compilers (e.g. Hugs)
