maintainers/scripts/haskell/regenerate-hackage-packages.sh: init

Introduces a script that can be used to update the Nix expressions for

the Haskell package set. In service of that, also

- introduces cabal2nix-latest, which pins the hackage2nix version used

- changes all-cabal-hashes to use fetchFromGitHub

- adds update-hackage.sh & update-cabal2nix-latest.sh & update-stackage.sh maintainer scripts

+# This script is used to regenerate nixpkgs' Haskell package set, using a tool
+# called hackage2nix. hackage2nix looks at
+# pkgs/development/haskell-modules/configuration-hackage2nix.yaml and generates
+# a Nix expression for package version specified there, using the Cabal files
+# from the Hackage database (available under all-cabal-hashes) and its
+# companion tool cabal2nix.
+#
+# Related scripts are update-hackage.sh, for updating the snapshot of the
+# Hackage database used by hackage2nix, and update-cabal2nix-latest.sh,
+# for updating the version of hackage2nix used to perform this task.
