Building unix-compat with unix package version greater than 2.8 fails due to API changes.

The errors are in the re-exports from src/System/PosixCompat/User.hsc.

Supporting unix 2.8.0 and beyond is important because of the Abstract filepath proposal (AFPP) which is/will be supported by many core packages.

As a Hackage trustee I have revised the affected releases of unix-compat on Hackage with additional bounds unix < 2.8. See e.g. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/unix-compat-0.6/revisions/.

@jacobstanley any chance we could have a new release that supports unix 2.8?
