Support ghc-9.8.1

[erikd]

If I allow-newer: cborg:* then it builds with ghc-9.8.1 . That means the new compiler can be supported with the following dependency updates:

These can all be done as a Hackage metadata edit.

Let me know if you would prefer a PR.

Adding support for primitive-0.9 would be nice too. (Though primitive-0.8 works with GHC-9.8 too)

PR is #328

The linked PR also fixes the aeson < 2.2 problem which risks cborg to drop out of Stackage:

• aeson-2.2.0 commercialhaskell/stackage#7031

ATTN: @Saizan (Hello Andrea! 🎉 )

Looks like this was resolved by #328 (review)
