Both `stack` and other package managers like `cargo` have an `--open`
flag for the common case of opening documentation locally for
inspection or reference. This patch adds such a flag, which when set
tries to open the HTML file associated with the generated
documentation, using `open` on macOS, `start` on Windows, and
`xdg-open` on all other Unices.

Fixes #7366.

* WIP: Still need to update ghc to use the new `libraryDirsStatic` and
       `extraLibrariesStatic` fields in `InstalledPackageInfo` for linking.
* WIP: Adding -L paths to .a libs in .conf files will likely increase nix
       closure size for dynamically linked Haskell packages because if pkg-config
       finds an `-a` file, the path to it will be remembered.
       (That only has an impact if the .a file is in a split-output from the .so file.)
       Perhaps we make the feature that `pkg-config --static` is called
       opt-outable.
       On the other hand Haskell libs always carry their .a files, so pulling
       a few system `.a` files more shouldn't make much of a difference.
       So this opt-out should probably be an extra feature for later, if at all.

- regenerate bootstrap plans
- update CI and docker images for 8.8.4 and 8.10.4

Since most commands use 'ProjectFlags' but almost all commands can not
function properly without a project context, some commands manually
strip the flag '-z' (--ignore-project) from the command line option parser.

Unify the behaviour for all commands.

Reformat imports and data declarations.
Remove old code-paths from `cabal-install/src/Distribution/Client/Setup.hs`
Remove unnecessary parentheses.
Mirror command structure from other Commands.

Changes the behavior of the following commands under the `--dry-run` and
`--only-download` flags
- `v2-configure` and `v2-freeze` do not write their respective files
- `v2-exec` and `v2-run` do not run the target executable

Adds package tests for the configure and freeze commands.
