The new `cabal-head` packages now automatically detect AppVeyor and set the required paths. (You can see this in the build log)
also use AppVeyor time better by not building branches to open PRs since the PR itself is also built.

This reverts commit 3c243455.

- Disable cabal-install's haddock on CI
- Temporarily disable cabal check (`-main-is` in tests)
- Remove this is not a lib note
- Tell to run git update-index --assume-unchanged

    ... when changing to -dev or -monolithic configuration.

    Run --no-assume-unchanged unconditionally, when
    changing to the production build.
- Improve auto-gen note in cabal-install.cabal
- Try to build haddock (with GHC-8.4.3 only)

(cherry picked from commit 8739c9b6)

Unfortunately, the vast majority of Appveyor runs are timing out again.

VCS tests are *very* slow; it took a substantial amount of work (this is a squash of 35 commits by two authors with debugging help from @Mistuke as well) to get the test suite and build process fast enough that they can run along with the rest of it in under an hour (the Appveyor limit).

I disabled one test that still fails on Windows:
PackageTests/NewBuild/CustomSetup/RemotePackageWithCustomSetup/build-package-from-repo-with-custom-setup.test.hs

Previously, --hide-successes caused solver-quickcheck to only print the seed
that was added in 4d83212f.  This commit removes
--hide-successes so that the test suite prints the test names with the seeds.

Also set an upper bound on Tasty, because it tends to break things
when updated.

Also require optparse-applicative >= 0.14 in cabal-testsuite

(cherry picked from commit b21cfd99)

- Manually generate Lexer.hs
- Temporarily disable parser-hackage-tests on appveyor (needs
  01-index.tar)
- Add root Makefile to handle commmon dev tasks (genering Lexer.hs)
