Define MonadFail instance for Get Monad

PVP said 0.9.0.0 was not required.

Implement Binary instance and builders for ShortByteString.

Let's share the address space with a malevolent agent of chaos.

Removing as it complicates binary and it's very hard for client code to
trigger.

Define Semigroup instance for base>=4.9

Drop redundant constraints

Canonicalise Monad instances

Data.Fixed instance

GHC HEAD warns about these

This makes `binary` `-Wcompat`-clean for GHC 8.0

This avoids potential performance issues as well as
future proofing code.

Split GBinary into GBinaryGet and GBinaryPut, speeds up compilation.

Consider:

    {-# LANGUAGE DeriveGeneric #-}
    module A where
    import Data.Binary
    import GHC.Generics
    data T = T
     () () () () () () () () () ()
     () () () () () () () () () ()
     () () () () () () () () () ()
     () () () () () () () () () ()

     () () () () () () () () () ()
     () () () () () () () () () ()
     deriving Generic
    instance Binary T

Without this patch, on GHC 7.10.2, building this -O2 takes 6.7s.  With
this patch, it takes 1.7s.  Amazing.  (There are modest improvements
with other versions of GHC too.)
