Description

The Thrift Haskell compiler is generating code that's not working with the current version of Haskell's GHC compiler, and the current Haskell library.

The fix is simple:

• Remove the import import Thrift.Types () because this moduled does not exist.
• Map Thrift type string to Haskell's String (instead of Text) - that's what the Haskell Thrift library accepts.
• Don't map "include" to "import qualified" (symbols are expected to be in the global scope).
