Enable -funbox-strict-small-fields by default
See discussion at http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2013-April/001109.html
Summary from the commit message:
Enable -funbox-small-strict-fields by default
The flag shows no real impact on nofib benchmarks and GHC itself,
which is expected given the small number of strict but not already
unpacked fields in the source of these programs. However, the flag
allows us to omit most of the UNPACK pragmas that are so common in
source code today.
