#4868: deepseq should not depend on containers

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
The [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/deepseq deepseq] package depends
on the [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/containers containers] package.
This forces all packages that want to depend on `deepseq` in order to
provide a `NFData` instance for exported types, to also depend on
`containers`.
Proposal, have `containers` depend on `deepseq`, not the other way around,
and define the `NFData` instances for the types in the `containers`
package, in the `containers` package.
