haskellPackages.ghc-core: Revert "0.5.6 -> 2012-12-15"

This reverts commit c1b919f. That kind of change is a maintenance nightmare because it unconditionally overrides the package's version specified in hackage-packages.nix with something else, i.e. no future update will ever have an effect. This is not the proper way to do it. The proper way is to add the relevant commit from Github as a patch.
