Follow new naming in GHC.Stats. Fixes #29.

GHC commit
	  24e6594cc7890babe69b8ba122d171affabad2d1
changed a lot of the stats names.

Until now, EKG stuck to the old names, which can be very confusing;
especially since some names were clearly misleading and have been
renamed in GHC consequentially.

This commit changes all names to the new names.
For base < 4.10, we translate the old API to their new equivalents
(multiplying to get nanoseconds as needed).
The added comment documents this translation.

The change has been tested on Stackage versions:

* lts-14.27 (GHC 8.6.5)
* nightly-2018-11-08 (GHC 8.6.1)
* lts-12.17 (GHC 8.4.4)
* lts-9.21 (ghc-8.0.2) -- this is base 4.9

This change may break some users that rely on the old names,
so a new major release should be made.

The haddocks no longer explain the meaning of each field;
instead, GHC.Stats docs are linked now.
This is acceptable because the reworked GHC.Stats is much clearer
on meaning and units. It also means we cannot forget updating
ekg-core's haddocks to reflect GHC.Stats docs improvements.
