things I've changed from the PR:
- dropped legacy (i.e. non-flake) compat stuff, which turns out to account for most of the diff
- dropped `packages.garnet` since it doesn't work with `nix build .#garnet`
- back to using Rust-extended packages everywhere, which isn't very important but seems fine anyway
the rest is just re-inlining things and other refactors
final question:
it does seems a bit weird that `garnet-rs` arg to `project.nix` was always the same
might be a mistake, and we're supposed to be using local for local build?
"improve nix-haskell use"
there are a few things going on here but the main ones are ...
note that changes we keep are essentially:
- bumping `nix-haskell` to avoid shell hook workaround
- various changes in how we call `nix-haskell`
- using `libCgarnet_rs` name, which Cabal expects
- adding proper non-dev-shell targets, so that e.g. `nix run` works

See https://sraka.xyz/posts/hs-bindgen-introduction.html.
For now, this is a shell-based workflow, rather than using Nix to build everything, i.e. `nix develop` works but `nix build` doesn't. And `cargo build` has to be called manually to create the C library, rather than `cabal` being clever enough to invoke it itself.
We ran `cargo cabal init` from the `rust` directory (`nix shell github:yvan-sraka/cargo-cabal`), which generated `hsbindgen.toml` (which we use), and `Setup.lhs` (which just added `extra-lib-dirs`, and with the wrong paths, so we dspecify those statically instead in `garnet.cabal`). We also follow its advice to use `staticlib`.
Also, after we ran the first `cargo build` (requiring a `mkdir rust/src` before it would run), we took the generated the Haskell file, and moved the main contents in to `Main.hs` manually.
