Generate custom source tarball

[jneira]

• In addition to artifacts automatically generated by github
• Motivation from Create proper source tarballs in CI/on releases #2216

• autogenerated and would depend on github not messing with the tarball layout (they did so at least twice) for the hash to be stable
• depend on the tag (yeah, if you force push, the hash changes too)
• have bad tarball names like 1.4.0.tar.gz, causing trouble for ghcup

• Moreover it could include submodules if we return to use them
• Closes Create proper source tarballs in CI/on releases #2216

//cc @hasufell

• The build has been succesful in my repo: https://github.com/jneira/haskell-language-server/releases/tag/1.4.1
• Link to the new source tarball: https://github.com/jneira/haskell-language-server/releases/download/1.4.1/haskell-language-server-1.4.1-src.tar.gz
• It is included in the sha256sums as SHA256 (haskell-language-server-1.4.1-src.tar.gz) = f6eda0b17f6e3ad17b9f4407f9b4b4d20a7030cd98a980655ea8bb9d29312bc3

would be the tarball suitable to be used in ghcup, @hasufell?

yes

@pepeiborra i've used j1 for cabal in this one to see it alliviates the failing test suites (eval and tactics plugin)

[jneira]

it seems cabal -j1 is doing its job 😅

@pepeiborra could you stamp the pr to merge the ci fix in master and unblock olther ones? thanks!

[jneira]

i was too optimistic 😢

 9 out of 39 tests failed (109.22s)

for tactics, windows and ghc-8.10.7

[jneira]

I still want to believe the -j1 is alliviating somewhat the issue

[jneira]

tactics + windows + 8.10.7 still resists:

 1 out of 8 tests failed (27.39s)
Test suite tests: FAIL

[jneira]

last fails for tactics:

some stamp for this one @Ailrun @pepeiborra @michaelpj? thanks!

[michaelpj]

Looks reasonable.
