#994: add 'unsafeCoerce' to a standard location in the hierarchical libraries

Difficulty: Easy (1 hr) | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown | Os: Unknown
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Currently, all implementations provide either the 'unsafeCoerce' or
'unsafeCoerce#' functions, but they live in implementation-specific
locations.
This proposal is to adopt the Haskell'98-compatible name 'unsafeCoerce',
and to add it to the standard base library package.
Suggested location: Data.Function.Unsafe?
