Haskell relnotes for GHC 7.10

Last link is incorrect and should be: https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.10.3/docs/html/users_guide/release-7-10-3.html

Also here: https://pagure.io/release-notes
the overview section has 2 references to fc17 which need an update.

I think it is better to keep the link as release-7-10-1.html which I did intentionally, since Fedora is moving from 7.8.4 to 7.10.3 and the 7.10.1 release-notes contain a good summary of the changes between 7.8 and 7.10.

Happy to simplify the notes if that is easier, but I would like this Change to be mentioned.
