See #593

A nicer fix would involve patching GHC to not just look under
$libexec/ but also under the directory where the GHC binary itself lives
(bin/ for hadrian), so that we can leave all binaries under bin/.

Addresses Trac #15132.

I noticed that one sentence from the README is out of date, so here's a tentative wording that reflects the current state of things.

* Copy inplace/mingw to the build root

* Run Hadrian with -c on AppVeyor

See #541

* wip

* debugging output

* Compute ProjectVersion on demand ONLY!

* remove debugging output, boot with --hadrian

* go back to using -c everywhere in .travis.yml

* prioritise libgmp.a rule over catch-all *.a rule, to avoid conflict

* add missing import

* tentative fix for the appveyor script

* use backslashes in appveyor.yml

* less 'cd'ing around in appveyor.yml

* address most of @snowleopard's feedback

* address last bit of feedback

* Minor revision

* Use untracked doesFileExist

* Drop support for lib0 libraries

See #573

* Minor refactoring

* Fix the path to touchy

* Allow binaries to live in lib/bin

* Fix path to GMP's config.mk

* Minor revision

* Relocate GMP's build artefacts

See #554

* Fix indentation

* Pass the verbosity setting to Cabal

* Add a workaround for missing fs.h files

* Print diagnostic info in verbose mode

* Try enable-distro-toolchain

* Improve error handling

Fix copyFile failure on Windows plus minor revision

* Call the boot script using the right Python interpreter

* Install Python3

* Call boot and configure from Stack environment

* Stay in Hadrian directory

* Fix path to Stack

* Fix slashes

* Use bash to run configure

* Preliminary bindist rule

For now, we only ship `<build root>/{bin, lib}` and the few make build system
related files that are needed to support a simple

```
./configure [--prefix=PATH] && make install
```

workflow. The current binary distributions of GHC support a wider range
of parameters, but I figured it would be a good thing to start with this
and enhance it as we all see fit and perhaps using feedback from GHC HQ
(@bgamari in particular) and bindist users.

* document binary distribution rule in README

* sdist-ghc -> source-dist, Rules.Bindist -> Rules.BinaryDist

* add missing src/Rules/BinaryDist.hs

This reverts commit 15797302.

Fixes #543

* Fix warnings

* Link to GitHub issues

See #544

Move rts I/O Functions in different namespace.

* Use Cabal directly in place of ghc-cabal; make build root configurable.

This commit implements two significant changes (that were not easy to
separate):

- Don't use ghc-cabal anymore for getting information about Haskell packages.
  We now instead directly use Cabal-the-library.

- Make the build root configurable. This effectively gets rid of the inplace
  logic and allows us to place _all_ build artefacts in some directory of
  our choice, by passing '--build-root <some path>' to hadrian.

The code for this was mostly taken from #445.

* fix documentation rules

* remove some leftover unrelated, commented-out code

* more documentation fixes, address some feedback

* cleanup

* more cleanup

* boot and configure explicitly in travis CI scripts

* update cabal/ghc versions in .travis.yml (8.0.x not supported anymore)

* temporarily disable dynamic ways in Settings.Default

* update appveyor script

* travis: when booting with 8.2.2, build a complete stage2 compiler

* Fix CI?

Try to fix the CI by adding the `debug` rts way back in.

* Update Quickest.hs

Replicate the make build systems build flavours.

* Update .travis.yml

- Run selftest, and build in separate instances.
- try with python2
- and unify mac to stage2

* Update .travis.yml

upgrade python on mac

* [travis] os x: test the freshly built ghc

* Get rid of two unused GhcCabalMode constructors

* fix ghc-split rule, get rid of Install/Wrappers rules

* address more feedback

* ConfiguredCabal -> PackageData, more comments, more feedback addressed

* make the complete stage 2 build the default

* use a dummy package instead of base in Rules.hs

* update CI scripts

* attempt at fixing hadrian's -c option

* .travis.yml: use -c everywhere again

* travis: back to explicit './boot && ./configure'

* update README.md and doc/user-settings.md to reflect configurable build root

* some more feedback
