While removing references to GHC 9.4, I realized that some parts of HLS are referring to even older versions of GHC. For example, `hie-compat` is a compatibility library backporting support of Haskell IDE Engine (HIE) features to older versions of GHC. Since GHC 9.2, `hie-compat` only re-exported definitions already present in the `ghc` library, and so, is essentially obsolete. FYI: We still have `hie-compat` in the dependency graph, because some libraries (e.g., `hiedb`) are using it.

Yeah, I think this is a good idea. In principle, I think we'd like to have some kind of compatibility layer library, but in practice I think it's just spread out everywhere. |

After removing support for GHC 9.4, I was in the mood of cleaning up a bit more. While removing references to GHC 9.4, I realized that some parts of HLS are referring to even older versions of GHC.
Now, some people may hate me for that, but: I completely removed the now obsolete
