    Respect package visibility when deciding wired in packages. · 1f159519

    Summary:
    Previously, we would consider ALL versions of a wired-in package,
    no matter if they were exposed or not, and pick the latest version.
    This patch is a minor refinement on the behavior: now we try to
    pick the wired in package from just the list of exposed packages,
    and if there are no candidates fall back on the full list.  This
    means that if you do:
    
        -hide-all-packages -package wired-in-OLD-VERSION
    
    it will actually work by default (whereas previously you needed
    to *explicitly* -ignore-package the newer version).  This is especially
    useful for the 'ghc' package.  Fixes #9955.
