Add `--enable-executable-static` flag for fully static linking

Niklas Hambüchen authored 6 years ago and Mikhail Glushenkov committed 6 years ago

Also update the docs for `--enable-executable-dynamic`
as they were slightly misleading.

* Add support for application-dir and creating library hs file.

This adds support for specifying an "application directory" for the
Main.hs executable entrypoint to be located in ("app" is common).

This also generates a MyLib.hs file when initializing a new project
that is 'Library' or 'LibraryAndExecutable'. For the latter, the
'Main' module also imports this library and uses it.

* Fix otherModules bug when MyLib and Main are in the same directory.

* Don't ask for "source dir" if this is an executable.

That's what applicationDir is for.

* Comments, explicitly handle 'Library' in getModulesBuildToolsAndDeps

* Code cleanups.

- More concise comments.
- Simplified code to write MyLib.
- Share directory creation code.

* Update changelog.

* Remove extraneous let.

Add cabal init --interactive option

Instantiate fully instantiated dependencies even in indefinite packages.

We can not use `ByteString.pack` and then print it as `String`, which
will get encoded again based on the system setting, and very likely,
we get different things unless the encoding is something like ISO-8859-1, e.g.
in UTF-8 environment, the magic of gz "\x1f\x8b" will get encoded again
into "\x1f\xc2\x8b".

Before:

```
$ /cabal sdist --output-dir=- | tar -t -z -f -
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
```

And now:

```
$ cabal sdist --output-dir=- | tar -t -z -f -  | tail -n 1
cabal-install-2.5.0.0/tests/README.md
```

The help message did not end with newline before and looked
weird as it can concatenate with next shell prompt.

Fixes haskell/cabal#5577.

The `fail` package has been already in lib:Cabal's transitive
dependencies via at least `lib:parsec` (for GHC < 8), so we might
as well depend on it directly and avoid having to deal with two
divergent compat `MonadFail` classes, as well as reduce the amount
of CPP hackery.

This should address the GHC < 8 build failures that were introduced
via c3c29a49

Future work: get rid of internal `Distribution.Compat.MonadFail` module.

Add global configuration option for non-interactive cabal init.
