Mikkel Christiansen f490ced673 Fix failing tests on GHC 8 and reduce warnings.
Fix test failures on GHC 8 for `abort` and `new_abort` caused by `error`
appending the stack trace to the error message (since base
4.9.0.0)[1]. This fixes #36.

An alternative is to use `errorWithoutStackTrace` (new in base 4.9.0.0),
but this then requires use of CPP for backwards compatibility.

Remove type constraints prompting GHC to warn about redundant
constraints.

Tested with 7.6.3, 7.8.4, 7.10.3, 8.0.1 (all on NixOS).
