Avoid inline strings and manual spacing - use already-declared key variables
and unwords

Before the solver is invoked, the parameters will be printed
if high verbosity has been selected.

This includes constraints and preferences.

Platform dependent search path separator

When using cabal exec on Windows, it would give an error such as:

ghc.exe: can't find a package database at
C:\Users\tchakkazulu\path\to\dir\.cabal-sandbox\i386-windows-ghc-7.6.3-packages.conf.d:C:\Program
Files (x86)\Haskell Platform\2013.2.0.0\lib\package.conf.d

This reverts commit 75f8651d.

See discussion in #1780.

As suggested by Anders Löh in #1780.

Starting with GHC 7.10 (and soon GHC HEAD), System.Exit exports the new `die`
which would clash with Cabal's own `die`. See also

Cabal.cabal: allow QuickCheck-2.7

(The current https://hackage.haskell.org/ SSL certificate does not have
identity validation, so `--no-check-certificate` must be passed to `wget`
in order for it to fetch without error.)

AFAIK. We don't use this form consistently anyhow. Also fix a typo.

So that it'll show up on Hackage

Relax handling of encoding failures on Windows (fixes #846)

Fixes #1780.

Stripping triggers a bug in strip.exe when there are lots of
identically named modules. The strip program has a limit in how it
generates temp file names, which eventually leads to name collision.

Fixes #1784.

This reverts commit 99d912d3.

Looks like Johan managed to botch a merge somehow, see #1786. Or maybe that was
a bug on the GitHub side.

The arguments to the executable already required separating the from arguments
to cabal. The help text just didn't reflect that.

The user and global package DBs are removed from the GHC_PACKAGE_PATH by
virtue of GHC_PACKAGE_PATH no longer ending in a `:`. A reasonable guess as to
the location of the global database is added to the GHC_PACKAGE_PATH.

The global package DB path is probably wrong for custom installations and for
Windows machines.

Uses a hardcoded path for the sandbox and also includes both the global and
user package databases, but ending with a `:`.
