Update tests for CLC proposal: Modify displayed exception type

[tbidne]

Now that the CLC proposal has been approved, this can be merged.

https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/261.

See https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/12242.

Obviates https://github.com/haskell/stm/pull/81.

CI is currently failing due to a glibc mismatch:

2024-07-04T22:29:26.2172453Z Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-3ubuntu1.6) ...
...
2024-07-04T22:30:43.8257620Z /__e/node20/bin/node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /__e/node20/bin/node)

2.27 (and 2.28, for that matter) are quite old, and so is the ubuntu runner 20.04 (ubuntu-latest is 22.04). Perhaps this should be updated?

Edit: Updating the runner (or checkout to v4) does not help, see: https://github.com/haskell-CI/haskell-ci/issues/738.

Create cabal.haskell-ci and override the container distribution manually:

distribution: jammy

We had to do this with some of our packages, too: https://github.com/bellroy/unliftio-servant-server/blob/c91cd898561c142fa382ccf2e045552d0dd27173/cabal.haskell-ci

Thanks! PR incoming.

@wz1000 now that CI is passing, might you be able to merge this one?

[Bodigrim]

@wz1000 @andreasabel does anyone of you feel comfortable to merge? The CLC proposal has been approved a month ago, so I don't think the change of baseline is controversial.

[andreasabel]

Well, I could merge it, but I could not retrieve evidence of its correctness:

The affected test case stm055 is not contained in the cabal-runnable testsuite testsuite/. Instead it is contained in the older tests/ suite that is not covered by CI. Trying to run it manually I get the following output:

stm/tests[master]$ ./runtests.sh

To me it looks like one or more tests are in a broken state and I do not even get to see the result of test stm055.

If you update https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/12242 to point to the same commit (e9e9aaa8f625143f197cf44b03971ee850d1455e) and the GHC CI passes, I think we can merge this.

[tbidne]

MR has been updated to the current commit here and CI passing.

Thanks @wz1000!
