upgrade to Ghc 9.8.1 (#2624)
This PR updates the stackage LTS resolver to `nightly-2024-02-06` which
uses GHC 9.8.1

## Upgrade notes

You will need to update your HLS to
[2.6.0.0](https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/releases/tag/2.6.0.0),
this release contains support for GHC 9.8.1

## Fixes

### `haskeline` / `repline`

We have removed the custom haskeline / repline forks used in the build.
This is because we had trouble overriding haskeline as it is bundled
with GHC and the stackage resolver uses this bundled version. We were
using a custom fork of haskeline to implement
[mapInputT_](15c0685c91/app/Commands/Repl.hs (L409))
in the Juvix REPL, required to implement error handling. This requires
private API from the Haskeline library.

Instead of using a custom fork we use TemplateHaskell to obtain access
to the private API we need. See
[DarkArts.hs](15c0685c91/src/Juvix/Prelude/DarkArts.hs)
and
[HaskelineJB.hs](15c0685c91/app/HaskelineJH.hs).

To obtain access to the private API, we adapted a method from [a Tweag
blogpost](https://www.tweag.io/blog/2021-01-07-haskell-dark-arts-part-i/)
and [repo](https://github.com/tweag/th-jailbreak) - updating it for GHC
9.8.1.

### `aeson-better-errors`

The `aeson-better-errors` library has not been updated to work with
`mtl-2.3.0` so it cannot work with the new stackage resolver. We are
using a [fork](https://github.com/Vekhir/aeson-better-errors.git) which
has been updated.

We should consider replacing this library in future, see
https://github.com/anoma/juvix/issues/2621

###  `path`

The `path` library now includes API `splitDrive` and `dropDrive` so we
can remove our versions of those functions from the prelude.

### `with-utf8`

We no longer need to depend on `with-utf8`. We were using this package
for UTF-8 versions of `readFile` and `writeFile` APIs. These APIs are
now available in the `text` package.

### Compiler warnings

GHC 9.8.1 introduces several new compiler warnings. 

* We have suppressed `missing-role-annotations` and
`missing-poly-kind-signatures`
* We added our own versions of `head` and `tail` to work around the new
`partial-tx` warning introduced for those functions in `Data.List`.
* We fixed up the code to avoid the
[term-variable-capture](https://ghc.gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/doc/users_guide/using-warnings.html#ghc-flag--Wterm-variable-capture)
warning.

Update stackage resolver to LTS 21.6 (#2275)
Stack LTS 21.6 uses GHC 9.4.5, binaries for HLS are available via ghcup.

Changes required:

1. Fix warnings about type level `:` and `[]` used without backticks.
2. Fix warnings about deprecation of builtin `~` - replaced with `import
Data.Type.Equality ( type (~) )` in the Prelude
3. SemVer is no longer a monoid
4. `path-io` now contains the `AnyPath` instances we were defining
(thanks to Jan) so they can be removed.
5. Added `aeson-better-errors-0.9.1.1` as an extra-dep. The reason it is
not part of the resolver is only because it has a strict bound on base
which is not compatible with ghc 9.4.5. To work around this I've set:

    ```
    allow-newer: true
    allow-newer-deps:
      - aeson-better-errors
    ```
which relaxed the upper constraint bounds for `aeson-better-errors`
only. When the base constraints have been updated we can remove this
workaround.

6. Use stack2cabal to generate the cabal.project file and to freeze
dependency versions.

    https://www.stackage.org/lts-21.6/cabal.config now contains the
constraint `haskeline installed`, which means that the version of
haskeline that is globally installed with GHC 9.4.5 will be used, see:
    * https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stackage/issues/7002
GHC 9.4.5 comes with haskeline 0.8.2 preinstalled but our configuration
contains the source-repository-package for haskeline 0.8.2.1 (required
because we're using a fork) so if you try to run` cabal build` you get a
conflict.

Constraints from cabal imports cannot yet be overridden so it's not
possible to get rid of this conflict using the import method. So we need
to use stack2cabal with an explicit freeze file instead.

7. Remove `runTempFilePure` as this is unused and depends on
`Polysemy.Fresh` in `polysemy-zoo` which is not available in the
resolver. It turns out that it's not possible to use the `Fresh` effect
in a pure context anyway, so it was not possible to use
`runTempFilePure` for its original purpose.

8. We now use https://github.com/benz0li/ghc-musl as the base container
for static linux builds, this means we don't need to maintain our own
Docker container for this purpose.

9. The PR for the nightly builds is ready
https://github.com/anoma/juvix-nightly-builds/pull/2, it should be
merged as soon as this PR is merged.

Thanks to @benz0li for maintaining https://github.com/benz0li/ghc-musl
and (along with @TravisCardwell) for help with building the static
binary.
