Currently the haskell.nix overlays replace `haskell` and
`haskellPackages` in the root of pkgs with versions that have just a
fraction of what nixpkgs provides.
Although `haskell-nix.haskellPackages` could be used to provide a much
more complete set there are subtle differences that are likely to cause
issues (and nixpkgs has patches for many haskell packages).
To make it possible for haskell.nix and nixpkgs haskell to coexist,
we need to move the remaining parts of haskell.nix outside of the
`haskell-nix` attribute into `haskell-nix`.
```
ghc -> haskell-nix.ghc
cabal-install -> haskell-nix.cabal-install
haskell.compiler -> haskell-nix.compiler
haskell.packages -> haskell-nix.packages
bootstrap.haskell.compiler -> haskell-nix.bootstrap.compiler
bootstrap.haskell.packages -> haskell-nix.bootstrap.packages
```
The following `haskellPackages` have been removed and instead the
nixpkgs versions will now be in `haskellPackages`. User code should
be updated if the nixpkgs versions are not desired:
```
haskellPackages.hoogle
-> haskell-nix.haskellPackages.hoogle.components.exes.hoogle
haskellPackages.happy
-> haskell-nix.haskellPackages.happy.components.exes.happy
haskellPackages.alex
-> haskell-nix.haskellPackages.alex.components.exes.alex;
```
Guard code has been added to overlays/defaults.nix to prevent us
inadvertently depending on the nixpkgs `haskell` or `haskellPackages`
inside the haskell.nix code base.
