- Now we use cabal (comparable to rust's cargo) to build binary packages.
Reason:
- Haskell's cabal packaging system is like rust's cargo. Every packages
depends upon some specific version of other library. Hence, it is
hard to maintain each and every version.
- Patching packages so that they use latest of dependencies breaks
compatibility.
Benefits:
- Enables building very large packages like `pandoc`.
- Reduces disk space used.
- Lesser packages to maintain.

Instead of in termux_setup_toolchain_XX. This helper lib does really
not have anything to do with our toolchain so it does not belong in
termux_setup_toolchain.
It is also good to only modify $TERMUX_PREFIX (for other things than
make install) before termux_step_create_timestamp_file has been run,
and termux_step_start_build fits that criteria.
