5468,"Implement deepseq->{array,containers} dependancy reversal proposal",hvr,igloo,"''See also the related #4868 proposal''

Implementing the proposal involves the following steps:

 1. make hackage:deepseq a GHC-boot package,
 2. remove `deepseq` dependancy on hackage:array and  hackage:containers,
 3. move (and refactor) the affected instance definitions to the `array` and `containers` packages respectively (and make them depend on `deepseq`), and
 4. satisfy the PVP by incrementing package versions where necessary.
