* no released version of hackage2nix does support distribution-nixpkgs yet.
* hackage-db 2.1.2 fixes an annoying bug introduced in 2.1.1 and also supports
Cabal 3.4: https://github.com/NixOS/cabal2nix/issues/501
1.1.0.0 brings us compatibility with opaleye >= 7.3.0.0, so we can get
rid of the old version as well. tmp-postgres was incorrectly marked as
broken (maybe due to a flaky failure) and can be unmarked.
These were blocked due to mutual desigion during me<>`sternenseemann`
discussion.

In short:
I shipped my own work (to support GHC 9.0) in the 0.5 releases of
`hnix-store-{core,remote}`.
These packages are really used only by `hnix` itself, and instead of maintaining
them in Nixpkgs & reacting on `hnix` release, we decided to hold them back &
switch to these versions when `hnix` provides support for them.
I just (today) released `hnix` 0.14 & it requires `hnix-store-{core,remote}`
0.5.
If you would look at dependency tree:
https://packdeps.haskellers.com/reverse/hnix-store-corehttps://packdeps.haskellers.com/reverse/hnix-store-remote
It shows that `hnix` currently is the only alive use of these projects.
The source tarball now has DOS line endings for some reason, requiring
the use of dos2unix. Also needs a jailbreak since the template-haskell
bound has become too strict.
stackage LTS 18 luckily updated haskell-gi and related libraries to
0.25, so we can remove a lot of overrides. I also unrestricted some of
them in configuration-hackage2nix/main.yml and removed the overrides
updating them in configuration-common.nix (I guess the person doing
the upgrades thought those libraries were also in stackage).
stackage has updated to dhall 1.39, so we can update these as well:
haskellPackages.dhall-openapi: 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
haskellPackages.dhall-nix: 1.1.20 -> 1.1.21
hnix 0.13.* doesn't support hnix-store-* >= 0.5 yet, pending some
refactors to get GHC 9.0.x support working. Until that happens,
we downgrade hnix-store-* since nothing needs the new version yet.

Stackage Nighly recently upgraded their version of hackage-db from 2.1.0
to 2.1.1. 2.1.1 had a compatibility fix for Cabal 3.4 [1]. However it
did not increase the version bound on Cabal nor fails to compile with
Cabal 3.2, so Stackage was able to update it.
Unfortunately hackage-db with Cabal 3.2 causes observable issues [2]
in cabal2nix, so we need to downgrade it for all compilers that still
ship a Cabal version < 3.4.
Also ideally we should update the constraints for hackage-db 2.1.0 and
hackage-db 2.1.1 on hackage. See also [3].
