Prepare release 2.9.0.0 (#4319)
* Prepare release 2.9.0.0

* Bump 'bytestring' version for release CI test scripts

The older 'bytestring-0.11.1.0' version doesn't compile with the recent
GHC 9.10.1 release. Bump the version to '0.12.1.0' which can be
successfully compiled on all supported GHC versions.

* Update supported GHC version table

* Move plugin ghc support conditionals into .cabal file

Having them in the cabal.project file is a very neat way to
enable/disable a plugin, but it negatively affects Hackage users as they
can no longer trivially install HLS from Hackage.

This discussion might be revisited in the future, but not during a
release process.

* Disable tests and benchmarks in release test pipeline

On some platforms, building bytestring-0.12.1.0 is not fully supported
yet. Hence, we disable tests and benchmarks, to allow building on the
platform Windows with GHC 9.10.1.

* Always show debug output in release test ci

* Upgrade cabal version in the release pipeline

* Switch to `text` for release test package

# Releasing
## Release checklist
- [ ] check ghcup supports new GHC releases if any
- [ ] set the supported GHCs in workflow file `.github/workflows/release.yaml`
- There is currently a list of GHC versions for each major platform. Search for `ghc: [` to find all lists.
- Look for `TODO:` to find locations that require extra care for GHC versions.
- [ ] check all plugins still work if release includes code changes
- [ ] bump package versions in all `*.cabal` files (same version as hls)
- HLS uses lockstep versioning. The core packages and all plugins use the same version number, and only support exactly this version.
- Exceptions:
- `hie-compat` requires no automatic version bump.
- `shake-bench` is an internal testing tool, not exposed to the outside world. Thus, no version bump required for releases.
- For updating cabal files, the following script can be used:
- ```sh
./release/update_versions.sh <OLD_VERSION> <NEW_VERSION>
```
- It still requires manual verification and review
- [ ] generate and update changelog
- Generate a ChangeLog via `./GenChangelogs.hs <api-key> <tag>`
- `<tag>` is the git tag you want to generate the ChangeLog from.
- `<api-key>` is a github access key: https://github.com/settings/tokens
- [ ] update https://haskell-language-server.readthedocs.io/en/latest/support/ghc-version-support.html#current-ghc-version-support-status
- [ ] create release branch as `wip/<version>`
- `git switch -c wip/<version>`
- [ ] create release tag as `<version>`
- `git tag <version>`
- [ ] trigger release pipeline by pushing the tag
- this creates a draft release
- `git push <remote> <version>`
- [ ] run `sh scripts/release/download-gh-artifacts.sh <version> <your-gpg-email>`
- downloads artifacts to `gh-release-artifacts/haskell-language-server-<version>/`
- also downloads FreeBSD bindist from circle CI
- adds signatures
- [ ] upload artifacts to downloads.haskell.org from `gh-release-artifacts/haskell-language-server-<version>/`
- You require sftp access, contact wz1000, bgamari or chreekat
- `cd gh-release-artifacts/haskell-language-server-<version>`
- `SIGNING_KEY=... ../../release/upload.sh upload`
- Your SIGNING_KEY can be obtained with `gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format=long`
- Afterwards, the artifacts are available at: `https://downloads.haskell.org/~hls/haskell-language-server-<version>/`
- Run `SIGNING_KEY=... ../../release/upload.sh purge_all` to remove CDN caches
- [ ] create PR to [ghcup-metadata](https://github.com/haskell/ghcup-metadata)
- [ ] update `ghcup-vanilla-0.0.8.yaml` and `ghcup-vanilla-0.0.7.yaml`
- can use `sh scripts/release/create-yaml-snippet.sh <version>` to generate a snippet that can be manually inserted into the yaml files
- ~~update `hls-metadata-0.0.1.json`~~ Currently unnecessary, GHCup builds its own HLS binaries and updates that file.
- utilize `cabal run ghcup-gen -- generate-hls-ghcs -f ghcup-0.0.7.yaml --format json --stdout` in the root of ghcup-metadata repository
- Be sure to mark the correct latest version and add the 'recommended' tag to the latest release.
- [ ] get sign-off on release
- from wz1000, michealpj, maerwald and fendor
- [ ] publish release on github
- [ ] upload hackage packages
- requires credentials
- [ ] Supported tools table needs to be updated:
- https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/install/#supported-platforms
- https://github.com/haskell/ghcup-hs/blob/master/docs/install.md#supported-platforms
- https://github.com/haskell/ghcup-metadata/blob/44c6e2b5d0fcae15abeffff03e87544edf76dd7a/ghcup-gen/Main.hs#L67
- [ ] post release on discourse and reddit
- [ ] merge release PR to master or forward port relevant changes
