haskellPackages.hackage-db: downgrade to 2.1.0 if Cabal < 3.4
Stackage Nighly recently upgraded their version of hackage-db from 2.1.0
to 2.1.1. 2.1.1 had a compatibility fix for Cabal 3.4 [1]. However it
did not increase the version bound on Cabal nor fails to compile with
Cabal 3.2, so Stackage was able to update it.

Unfortunately hackage-db with Cabal 3.2 causes observable issues [2]
in cabal2nix, so we need to downgrade it for all compilers that still
ship a Cabal version < 3.4.

Also ideally we should update the constraints for hackage-db 2.1.0 and
hackage-db 2.1.1 on hackage. See also [3].
