build(deps): bump scala-compiler from 2.12.2 to 2.12.4 in /languages/scala

[dependabot[bot]]

Bumps scala-compiler from 2.12.2 to 2.12.4.

Release notes

Sourced from scala-compiler's releases.

Scala 2.12.4

Our benchmarks show a further 5–10% reduction in compile times since 2.12.3.

Improved Java 9 friendliness, with more to come!

• #6097 Fix runtime reflection of empty package members under Java 9
• #6098 Adapt to change in Java 9 classloader hierarchy

This release addresses (#6120) a privilege escalation vulnerability that was identified in the Scala compilation daemon CVE-2017-15288.

We'd like to highlight a few of the excellent contributions by @​hrhino and @​TomasMikula, previewing 2.13 improvements (available now under -Xsource:2.13):

• #5867 Include the parts of a compound/refinement type in implicit scope
• #6074 Resolve implicit instances for abstract types, according to the spec
• #6069 Higher-kinded type variable unification

For Spark, with love:

• #6101 Make Lazy* classes serializable

Preparing for simplification of named arguments in 2.13:

• #6089 Deprecate assignments in argument position

Rather than pollute /tmp,

• #6120 Move compilation daemon portfile under ~/.scalac/

For more details, check out all closed bugs and merged PRs.

As usual for minor releases, Scala 2.12.4 is binary compatible with the whole Scala 2.12 series.

• Obtain JARs via Maven Central

Scala 2.12.3

Changes

• Compiler performance has improved significantly and is now automatically benchmarked after each change.
