Upgrade GHC version

[brandonchinn178]

It seems like Hackage is still using 9.6? https://hackage.haskell.org/package/skeletest-0.1.1/reports/3

Can we upgrade this to 9.8+? Also, is this managed manually, or is this version defined somewhere in the repo? I couldn't find any deployment scripts in the repo

@gbaz Do you know anything about this?

This is managed manually. We have a big migration coming up, and I think it would be better to just handle this when that comes rather than do any other work sooner.

When is this big migration happening? Can I help with this GHC upgrade?

One potential problem with GHC upgrade to 9.8 is https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/25897

Looks like this has been done? I uploaded a package today and the documentation was built using GHC 9.8.4: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/witch-1.3.0.2/reports/1
