Build a Version the right way in Strip module

per @23Skidoo's suggestion in #2356

Quiet version checking for `strip`

Fixes #2359.

Since the version checking code for `strip` on many platforms will fail
without consequence, we don't want to warn every time it does.

Fixes #2339

A few small cabal init improvements

Fix compiler warning.

bootstrap.sh: bump dep versions

This was warning about CompilerId being a redundant import.

Retain --enable-executable-profiling and --enable-library-coverage options

The option has the same effect as --enable-coverage, but we retain it
for backwards compatibility.

We need the Ord instance for URI which was added in 2.4.

Fixes #2338.

Fixes #2217.

GHC generics are used to derive binary instances for types appearing
in the persistent build config, which requires GHC >= 7.2 and
binary >= 0.7. Unfortunately, GHC < 7.8 ships with binary == 0.5.*.
The missing module is Data.Binary.Generics, which we have copied from
binary-0.7.2.3 to Distribution.Compat.Binary.Generics. To provide
generic implementations for the Binary class, we also have to provide
our own implementation, which is copied from binary-0.7.2.3 to
Distribution.Compat.Binary.Class. The interface required by Cabal is
exported from Distribution.Compat.Binary. This is only done if
bootstrapping Cabal with GHC < 7.8 or if binary >= 0.7 is not available,
otherwise Distribution.Compat.Binary simply re-exports Data.Binary.
