Description: Allow unregisterised ghc-8.2 to build newer GHC
 Commit b68697e579d38ca29c2b84377dc2affa04659a28 introduced a regression
 stopping existing unregisteristed compilers from being used to compile a newer
 version of GHC. The problem is that the bootstrap compiler uses the newer Stg.h
 where EB_, IB_, etc, definitions have changed resulting in the following error:
.
  error: conflicting types for 'ghc_GhcPrelude_zdtrModule4_bytes'
  note: in definition of macro 'EB_'
  #define EB_(X)    extern const char X[]
  note: previous definition of 'ghc_GhcPrelude_zdtrModule4_bytes' was here
  char ghc_GhcPrelude_zdtrModule4_bytes[] = "ghc";
.
 For more information about the problem, see https://phabricator.haskell.org/D4114.
.
 This patch is a rework of https://phabricator.haskell.org/D3741.
 It modifies Stg.h to include the old definitions, if a compiler older than
 8.4 is being used.
.
 This patch can be removed, once ghc-8.2 is no longer the bootstrap compiler.
