`x-partial` warnings with GHC 9.8

[andreasabel]

The blessings of the new x-partial warning will be bestowed unto you by GHC 9.8:

Network/URI.hs:1131:12: warning: [GHC-63394] [-Wx-partial]
    In the use of ‘head’
    (imported from Prelude, but defined in GHC.List):
    "This is a partial function, it throws an error on empty lists. Use pattern matching or Data.List.uncons instead. Consider refactoring to use Data.List.NonEmpty."
     |
1131 |         if head (uriPath ref) == '/' then
     |            ^^^^

Network/URI.hs:1437:16: warning: [GHC-63394] [-Wx-partial]
    In the use of ‘tail’
    (imported from Prelude, but defined in GHC.List):
    "This is a partial function, it throws an error on empty lists. Replace it with drop 1, or use pattern matching or Data.List.uncons instead. Consider refactoring to use Data.List.NonEmpty."

These are all false alarms:

Lines 1148 to 1149 in 4012e57

	| isDefined ( uriPath ref ) =
	if head (uriPath ref) == '/' then

	orNull :: ([a]->[a]) -> [a] -> [a]

	orNull f as = f as

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like it's not released yet, so I guess I can't add it to the CI test automation. I'll try to get ahead of it nonetheless.

https://github.com/haskell-CI/haskell-ci supports GHC 9.8 prereleases under the version 9.8.1.
My fork at https://github.com/andreasabel/haskell-ci does so under the version 9.8.0, so you could add GHC == 9.8.0 to the tested-with of the cabal file.
