New options for cabal.project and ./Setup interface: * `profiling-shared`: Enable building profiling dynamic way * Passing `--enable-profiling` and `--enable-executable-dynamic` builds profiled dynamic executables. Support for using `profiling-shared` is guarded behind a constraint which ensures you are using `Cabal >= 3.13`. In the cabal file: * `ghc-prof-shared-options`, for passing options when building in profiling dynamic way Other miscellenious fixes and improvements * Some refactoring around ways so that which ways we should build for a library, foreign library and executable is computed by the `buildWays` function (rather than ad-hoc in three different places). * Improved logic for detecting whether a compiler supports compiling a specific way. See functions `profilingVanillaSupported`, `dynamicSupported`, `profilingDynamicSupported` etc These functions report accurate infomation after ghc-9.10.1. * Fixed logic for determining whether to build shared libraries. (see #10050) Now, if you explicitly enable `--*-shared`, then that will always take effect. If it's not specified then `--enable-executable-dynamic` will turn on shared libraries IF `--enable-profiling` is not enabled. * Remove assumption that dynamically linked compilers can build dynamic libraries (they might be cross compilers. * Query the build compiler to determine which library way is necessary to be built for TH support to work. (rather than assume all compilers are dynamically linked) * An extensive test which checks how options for `./Setup` and `cabal-install` are translated into build ways. Fixes #4816, #10049, #10050
