Problems with logging and LVish debug flag

[osa1]

Some of the tests depend on logging with -fdebug, but others break when -fdebug is enabled.

• par-transformers wants it.
• lvish breaks when it's enabled.
• par-mergesort takes forever when it's enabled.

Not sure about how to solve this yet.

Yeah, it seems like we would need the (nonexistent) cabal feature where we depend on a particular flag setting of the lvish package from the test-suite section.

Short of that I think we can only enforce this in our scripts, not in the cabal setup.

Scripts and Cabal are already causing enough problems.. I was wondering if we could fix this by not relying on logging in tests(unless the test is about logging, of course). We can easily use an IORef with internalLiftIO to collect logs. How does that sound?

[rrnewton]

Oh, that's fine too... so to kind of manually do logging in the tests.

Or, maybe we should follow a convention where we use different package name
for the debug version e.g. "lvish-debug".

Cabal doesn't directly support that either of course, so I guess it would
have to be a separate cabal file.-

I made some progress on this, tests are now passing when -fdebug is not used(Travis is green), but we're having some problems when it's used.
