Add `pkgs.haskell.lib.readDirectory` utility
This adds a `readDirectory` utility that can be used to "slurp" a directory full of `cabal2nix`-generated files and transform them into a Haskell package override set. The main use of this is so that users don't have to write: ``` { overrides = self: super: { foo = self.callPackage ./path/to/foo.nix { }; bar = self.callPackage ./path/to/bar.nix { }; ... }; } ``` Instead, they can write: ``` { overrides = pkgs.haskell.lib.readDirectory ./path/to; } ``` This is a an alternative to `packageSourceOverrides` which primarily addresses the following use cases: * The desired package is not yet available in `all-cabal-hashes` (perhaps the user is pinned to an older revision of `nixpkgs`) * The default `cabal2nix` invocation used by `packageSourceOverrides` does not use the desired `cabal2nix` flags * The user wants to avoid the use of import-from-derivation
