Remove deprecated functions

from mtl, Control.Monad.Error has been deprecated in favor of Control.Monad.Except. We replace all the Error's with Except's and bump mtl to version 2.2.2, as Except was added in mtl-2.2.1, and mtl-2.2.2 works for any base>4, so bumping it is a formality anyway.
just have time>=1.5 in the cabal file, as support for 7.10 has been dropped anyway.
parseTime has been deprecated, so it is replaced with parseTimeM True
remove old-locale as it is unneeded.

require base>4.11
test for ghc 8.4-8.10
test for stack lts 16.16 and 14.21
bump cabal used to 2.4
drop alex and happy from travis because they don't seem to do anything
using ghc>=8.4 also allows us to drop a bunch of imports that no longer do anything.

@iyefrat This looks good! Can you update the changelog too ?

@psibi How's this? I only wrote the user facing changes, is there anything else you think I should add?
