Peter Simons 6f1cec9acb haskell-packages.nix: fix the implementation of 'cabalNoTest'
The previous implementation used the following tying-the-knot trickery to
override 'doCheck' to false for the given build:

  cabalNoTest = {
    mkDerivation = x: rec {
      final = self.cabal.mkDerivation (self: (x final) // { doCheck = false; });
    }.final;
  };

That seemed to work, but for some reason it caused trouble with some builds --
not all -- that use jailbreakCabal. The problem was the 'stdenv' attribute
couldn't be evaluated properly anymore:

  infinite recursion encountered

I tried to figure out why this happens, but eventually gave up. The new
implementation passes an argument called 'enableCheckPhase' to the Cabal
builder, which determines whether the user-specified doCheck value has any
effect or not. Now, a normal override can be used to disable unit testing.
