    converters/pandoc: Turn the package into a meta package

    Background: The upstream package, pandoc, historically contained the CLI
    tool but it was split into two separate packages: pandoc and
    pandoc-cli. When that happened I (pho@) renamed the original
    converters/pandoc to converters/hs-pandoc-base to install the Pandoc
    library, and replaced the contents of converters/pandoc with the upstream
    pandoc-cli.

    The intention was to make the change less surprising to our users. That is,
    I didn't want the CLI tool to suddenly disappear from
    converters/pandoc. But it complicated matters because the upstream
    pandoc-cli used a distinct versioning scheme from pandoc. As a result I was
    forced to use a weird versioning scheme for converters/pandoc, whose
    PKGVERSION actually tracked the version of converters/hs-pandoc-base,
    despite its contents being that of pandoc-cli. The difference in package
    name, upstream "pandoc" vs. pkgsrc "hs-pandoc-base", was also confusing.

    So I:

    * renamed converters/hs-pandoc-base to converters/hs-pandoc, which tracks
      upstream "pandoc",
    * created converters/pandoc-cli, which tracks upsream "pandoc-cli",
    * and turned converters/pandoc into a singleton meta-package which depends
      only on converters/pandoc-cli

    so that we can eliminate the weird versioning scheme and can still provide
    the CLI tool (indirectly) from converters/pandoc.
