Don't put static (version-based) feature gates in compilerInfo
It started when someone added ("Support parallel --make", "YES"),
, and then ballooned to a bit more when I added a few more feature gates. I think it's probably wrong for GHC to put feature gates in this structure which are always on or off; Cabal can just version test GHC for appropriate information. (The one benefit of using a feature gate is when you're running a development version of GHC and Cabal, and there is a breakpoint without a version change when a feature is supported).
If people agree, we should remove these, and change Cabal to version test to determine if these features are available.
