- We switched to using regex-tdfa, as regex-posix is buggy on Windows.

The key idea is that once we put PackageTests in its own package, we can
ensure that its Setup.hs is compiled with the same version of Cabal
library as package-tests is compiled with.  This means that LBI reading
will *always succeed* which is quite nice.

In the process, I refactored the test suite a bit to be more robust
and handle the --with-compiler more correctly in most cases.

One note: I turned off the HPC tests with the GHC and WITH_GHC
parameters don't match.  In principle this should work but there
is some sort of bug.  I don't plan on fixing the bug.

For some reason github is finicky when it comes to local links. Also,
I'm dyslexic it seems when it comes to Markdown's link syntax.

* Reformat tests/README, add links to individual files.
* Add link to tests/README to HACKING.
* Add links to license files.

* Ensure README.md is in .cabal files.
* Remove some verbiage.
* Remove broken link to old wiki in HACKING.

Also print more informative test failure messages.

Remove the bitrotted UnitTest test suite and also no longer used build
infrastructure.

Makes things a little simpler in GHC's build system if libraries are in
the same directory as their name.

At the top level we now have cabal/ and cabal-install/

Fixes ticket #693.
