It turns out that lld is pretty much the only functional linker for
ARMv7. Install it on the armv7-debian9.

No released hlint builds with GHC 9.0 so we build another image with GHC
9.0 to be used as the linters base image.

We cannot use ld.gold due to ghc#20266 yet ld.bfd is
terribly slow. Let's try lld instead.

HLint has rather inconvenient build dependencies which don't necessarily
build with the bootstrap compiler used for GHC builds. For instance,
currently it inexplicably fails to build with 9.0.1 on ARMv7.

Previously 26975eeb attempted to
optimise the build by unifying the `cabal update` invocations. However,
this optimisation is in fact wrong. We must run `cabal update` twice:
once as root to build the bootstrap tools and again as the ghc user
(which will be used by downstream GHC builds).

Necessary as currently yaml doesn't build against aeson-2.0

Currently pushing docker images takes an extraordinarily long time from
some runners. Work around this by excluding these runners from the pool
of runners for docker builds.

As noted in ghc#20486, it is currently not possible to bootstrap
GHC with a bootstrap compiler linked against integer-simple.

We don't need it. We just pull the dependencies directly.

This is needed for term.h, which terminfo now requires.

This should at least get us the new and improved `submodchecker`, but
possibly other changes too.
