Use project config instead of global one to get store-dir and logs-dir.

Fixes #5925 

Fix spelling error in bug report template [ci skip]

Implement --benchmark-options for v2-bench

This implements lots of plumbing to allow the `--benchmark-option(s)`
flags to be used with `v2-bench`, analgous to `v2-test`'s
`--test-option(s)` flag.

Fixes #6209.

On Windows dropExeExtension doesn't actually drop the exe extension.

We have

    splitExtension "foo.exe" == ("foo", ".exe")

but the code is expecting just "exe" for the extension field.

Among other things this makes guessToolFromGhcPath behave
unexpectedly. Since takeVersionSuffix can't see past the extension the
`null suf` case in mkGuesses will trigger which causes the versioned
program path candidates to not be looked for.

Exe dependency less lexeme

Change legacy note to point to cabal.readthedocs nix-style section

doc: Linkify some :pkg-fields:

Allow failures in OSX jobs

- They use 7.10.3 and 8.0.2
- timeout quite often.
- Let's have them, but let them fail without red mark

Properly expand globs when looking for headers in extra-src-files.

Try newer GHC on Appveyor

And use it to make readPkgConfigDb not fail if there aren't pkg-config
executable.
