ghc-mod has not supported GHC 8

This comment https://github.com/DanielG/ghc-mod/issues/798#issuecomment-231638428 suggests that it is supported in ghc-mod 5.6.0 which appears to be released on hackage here

[X] - Temporarily disable osx builds in travis
[ ] - Check if ghc-mod does in fact support ghc 8
[ ] - Change travis.yml to use homebrew for OSX as described by @gdziadkiewicz in #20

@gdziadkiewicz -- any guidance on how to switch to homebrew for mac builds now?

gdziadkiewicz commented 7 years ago

If I remember correct and nothing changed then installing GHC 8 with homebrew was as simple and clean as calling brew install ghc. You can also try the stack formula, it seems to be up to date and maintained. As brew is OSX only you will have to branch the installation part basing on the operating system. If you want I can implement the change, test it and provide PR. If not then I can try to help/answer in case of emerging questions.
