      [Rel-Eng]: Adds script to automatically generate GHCup metadata for Cabal releases (#9411) · 699df5d3

      * [Rel-Eng]: Add initial version of the release metadata script
      
      Adds the initial version of the release script that generates
      the metadata for a given release automatically in the correct format
      which can be used by GHCup as-is which makes it way easier to add
      that release to be distributed via GHCup.
      
      This would evolve based on the feedback from the maintainers but
      the basic core functionality still works.
      
      To Resolve: #9298
      
      * [Rel-Eng]: Change top shebang from '/bin/bash' to '/usr/bin/env bash'
      
      Modifies the top shebang from being #!/bin/bash to #!/usr/bin/env bash
      as requested in the PR review
      
      * [Rel-Eng]: Add script to download cabal-install binaries for a release
      
      The script to generate GHCup metadata needs the artifacts already downloaded.
      This script was made to be used in conjunction to the ghcup metadata generating
      script.
      
      This script:-
      
      * Makes the directories that ./create-release-metadata-for-ghcup.sh CDs into
      * Downloads the binary release files given a particular release number into
        correct directories.
      * Verifies that the downloaded checksums match the expected values upstream.
      
      * [Rel-Eng]: Integrate the release binary downloading script into GHCup metadata generating script
      
      Checks if binary-release folders for the release passed exist.
      "create-release-metadata-for-ghcup.sh" needs the release files pre-downloaded.
      
      Echos user to run the download script first if correct binaries folder not
      found.
      
      * [Rel-Eng]: Add release-scripts binary-downloads to gitignore
      
      We do not want to commit the downloaded binary files for a cabal release.
      This prevents us from doing that, even on accident.
      
      * [Rel-Eng]: Change from '/bin/bash' to '/usr/bin/env bash' in the download script
      
      Modifies the top shebang from being #!/bin/bash to #!/usr/bin/env bash
      in the 'download-cabal-install-release-binaries.sh'
      
      The later seems more portable as learned from the PR review comments.
