This implements the `EmptyDataDeriving` proposal put forth in https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/dbf51608/proposals/0006-deriving-empty.rst. This has two major changes: * The introduction of an `EmptyDataDeriving` extension, which permits directly deriving `Eq`, `Ord`, `Read`, and `Show` instances for empty data types. * An overhaul in the code that is emitted in derived instances for empty data types. To see an overview of the changes brought forth, refer to the changes to the 8.4.1 release notes.
