Update Reduceron to build and follow best practices for GHC/Cabal/Stack

[tommythorn]

As touched upon in #36, Reduceron doesn't build anymore due to changes to the GHC/Cabal/Stack. Part of the problem is that Flite is effectively a separate project, but a mandatory requirement for Reduceron.

I don't have the expertise to resolve this, but it seems worthwhile to get it back to building, so as an experiment, I'm trying to provide an Algora bounty for this. To make the requirement as clear as possible:

• Restore the ability to build everything and run all the regressions with a toplevel make
• Apply the current best practices for Haskell/GHC projects (sounds like using "stack" is a popular approach).

The workaround applied for #36 does not work for me.

After years of nothing, I now have two fixes for this within 24 hours. I'm not sure how to resolve this, but technically @Neptune650 was earlier.

@tommythorn I'd appreciate if you merge mine, as the other pull request was created after mine, does roughly the same changes and the commits were only created after mine.

Also, mine adds GitHub Actions CI which might be a nice bonus.

Thanks for your change. You also used the /claim #40 so I think there's not much debate. I'm still evaluating this and hope to accept your change shortly.

@tommythorn Much appreciated! Let me know if you find any issues.

I'm a bit confused about how this is supposed to be set up. I installed Stack with curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh and assumed the correctly to install ghc was stack install ghc but after than make still doesn't find runhaskell. Having CI is great, but I think I might need a hint for setting this up for manual use on Ubuntu (and macOS would be nice too).
