    Hadrian: improve bindist rule · 8f52ab92
    Alp Mestanogullari authored
    As outlined in #15925, hadrian bindists had not made a clear choice with
    respect to relocatable GHCs and wrapper scripts. This commit implements
    the policy described in the ticket. That is:
    
    - the bindists ship {bin, lib} as they are, modulo the addition of
      haddock from stage2/bin
    - we now _always_ generate wrapper scripts for all the programs that
      are in the bindist's bin/ directory
    
    The idea being that anyone on Linux/Windows/OS X can just unpack
    the binary distribution anywhere and start using bin/ghc, while the
    installation process systematicaly generates wrapper scripts.
    
    Test Plan: hadrian/build.sh binary-dist ; cd
    _build/bindist/ghc-X.Y.Z-arch/; configure --prefix=/tmp/foo && make
    install
