    mk/haskell.mk: allow to generate PLIST files

    Since GHC 7.10 or 7.8, the Haskell packages are installed in directories
    whose name contains the package hash.  This made it harder to predict the
    exact pathname.  Havin the exact pathnames in the PLIST file is the
    ideal, it also helps to record the general structure of the installed
    files to see whether some file unexpectedly appear or disappear.

    To enable this for Haskell packages, the various base directories are
    replaced with placeholders during print-PLIST.  These placeholders are
    translated back to their respective paths when the +PLIST is generated
    from the PLIST in the package directory.

    Except for 2 packages, all Haskell packages in main pkgsrc had their
    package PLIST file removed.  To help in adding them back, the pkgsrc
    developer can set HS_UPDATE_PLIST=yes in mk.conf, which will generate the
    PLIST directly into ${PKGDIR}/PLIST upon installation.

    Most packages in pkgsrc-wip still have their old PLIST, and these are
    migrated automatically as well.
