 Hadrian: improve bindist rule

 As outlined in #15925, hadrian bindists had not made a clear choice with
 respect to relocatable GHCs and wrapper scripts. This commit implements
 the policy described in the ticket. That is:

 - the bindists ship {bin, lib} as they are, modulo the addition of
   haddock from stage2/bin
 - we now _always_ generate wrapper scripts for all the programs that
   are in the bindist's bin/ directory

 The idea being that anyone on Linux/Windows/OS X can just unpack
 the binary distribution anywhere and start using bin/ghc, while the
 installation process systematicaly generates wrapper scripts.

 Test Plan: hadrian/build.sh binary-dist ; cd
 _build/bindist/ghc-X.Y.Z-arch/; configure --prefix=/tmp/foo && make
 install
