[Nix-dev] Use GHC 7.10.1 as default Haskell compiler in nixpkgs

[Shea Levy]

IMO (and this is not limited to Haskell) we should either always use the latest or, if the latest tends to provide a significantly different experience than the previous version, not have a default at all and require users to request a specific version. We do this for mysql in NixOS for example.
