Add travis support about hakaru HOT 4 CLOSED

This sounds like a good idea. I want to get our test suite hooked up first and I think we should do this.

@zaxtax If you want to do this, take a look at the .travis.yml files in my other Haskell projects (e.g., the one for bytestring-lexing). They include stuff for how to simultaneously build against multiple different versions of GHC. The biggest trick is getting the total build time for all the dependencies down to something reasonable.

If you want pointers, I'll be around this week; though I won't have time to work on it myself until a couple weeks out.

So one concern I have is how do we specify conditional testing. For example, we have tests that only pass if a version of maple is installed.

@wrengr is this another reason to start using tasty? ;)

depends on where you're doing the check to ensure that maple is/isn't
installed, but you could use flags in cabal to selectively enable/disable
portions. these flags could be passed in via the invocations in travis

What's the standard way to disable those from cabal?
