Cleanup backwards compatibility ifdefs due to stage1 external interpreter work
https://phabricator.haskell.org/D2826 and https://phabricator.haskell.org/D2884 make some code paths that were incompatible with GHC 7.10.x newly built by the stage0 compiler, requiring some CPP hackery to keep our compatibility guarantees. When we can drop that dependency, we should be sure to remove the old code paths.
Specifically, the checks for MIN_VERSION_base(4,9,0) and MIN_VERSION_process(1,4,2) can be removed once we're able to assume ghc 8.0.x as stage0.
