haskell: allow overriding all package sets at once

Setting haskell.packageOverrides like so:

  haskell = super.haskell // {
    packageOverrides = self: super: {
      my-package = ...;
      my-other-package = ...;
    };
  };

causes all compiler-specific package sets to be overridden with those
overrides.

### How to override packages in all compiler-specific package sets
In the previous section we learned how to override a package in a single
compiler-specific package set. You may have some overrides defined that you want
to use across multiple package sets. To accomplish this you could use the
technique that we learned in the previous section by repeating the overrides for
all the compiler-specific package sets. For example:
```nix
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
haskell = super.haskell // {
packages = super.haskell.packages // {
ghc784 = super.haskell.packages.ghc784.override {
overrides = self: super: {
my-package = ...;
my-other-package = ...;
};
};
ghc822 = super.haskell.packages.ghc784.override {
overrides = self: super: {
my-package = ...;
my-other-package = ...;
};
};
...
};
};
};
}
```
However there's a more convenient way to override all compiler-specific package
sets at once:
```nix
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
haskell = super.haskell // {
packageOverrides = self: super: {
my-package = ...;
my-other-package = ...;
};
};
};
}
```
