Please test: release candidates for Cabal/cabal-install patch releases on the 1.18 and 1.20 branches

[Johan Tibell]

Apparently this no longer works:

cabal install
http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-1.20.0.3/Cabal-1.20.0.3.tar.gz
http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-install-1.20.0.4/cabal-install-1.20.0.4.tar.gz

Some change on the web server side means that the web server tries to
redirect to an https page, even though cabal-install doesn't support it.
