[arch-haskell] Example PKGBUILD

Here's an example of what new PKGBUILDs look like if we rely on the
"provides" semantics.

You see how this works even if say, haskell-containers is moved out of the ghc set?
Our deps will continue to be correct.

We should never have relied on cabal2arch to fake "provides" in the first place :)

The key now will be ensuring that GHC's provides list is 100% accurate.
