Can't upload a package named "oath" to Hackage

[Andreas Abel]

Seem like hvr had a candidate:

   https://hackage.haskell.org/package/oath/maintainers/

I got a similar effect with `hackage-cli`, see

 
https://github.com/hackage-trustees/hackage-cli/issues/14#issuecomment-973413297

Maybe names that have no accessible candidate anymore should be "freed" 
on hackage... This would be a feature request to hackage-server.
