#2614: Enumeration of values for `Sys.Info.os`, `Sys.Info.arch`

--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
It is desirable to have an enumeration of values that might end up in
`Sys.Info.os` and `Sys.Info.arch`. Only after much reading of Cabal files
and such have I learnt that the former includes (at least) `linux`,
`darwin`, `windows` and `freebsd`. (And not, for example, `win32`.)
This is only a minor annoyance and I will likely never need to bother with
it again -- though I guess I'm still not sure what Solaris is called --
probably `solaris` -- I've got the pattern now, but it would have been
much better to see a list.
