foundation: Alternative prelude with batteries and no dependencies

A custom prelude with no dependencies apart from base.

This package has the following goals:

• provide a base like sets of modules that provide a consistent set of features and bugfixes across multiple versions of GHC (unlike base).

• provide a better and more efficient prelude than base's prelude.

• be self-sufficient: no external dependencies apart from base.

• provide better data-types: packed unicode string by default, arrays.

• Better numerical classes that better represent mathematical thing (No more all-in-one Num).

• Better I/O system with less Lazy IO

• Usual partial functions distinguished through type system
