 Make GHC install libraries to e.g. xhtml-3000.2.1-0ACfOp3hebWD9jGWE4v4Gh.

 Summary:
 Previously, we'd install them to something like
 xhtml_0ACfOp3hebWD9jGWE4v4G which was fairly ugly; this
 commit changes the default install path to contain the full
 package name and version, as well as the package key.

 Needs a Cabal submodule update for the commit for install paths support
 "Add libname install-dirs variable, use it by default. Fixes #2437".
 It also contains some miscellaneous fixes for Cabal HEAD.
