force ghc 7 for parser files to reduce build times #43

Fixes #41.

This is really just meant to be a temporary solution, since what this addresses is basically a GHC bug.

These changes should be undone once this bug's been fixed.

For more details, see the conversation in #41.

Thanks @julian-berbel This does speed things up a LOT on my mac OS X 10.13.6 laptop. Build time went from hours to 5m50.148s. I've pushed this to a new branch: https://github.com/bjpop/language-python/tree/faster_build This will let me do more testing.
