Add support for loading multiple components into one repl session
There are several parts to this patch which are logically distinct but work together to support the overal goal of starting a GHCi session with multiple packages loaded at once. 1. When a user writes "cabal repl <target>" then if the user is using a compiler > ghc-9.4.* then we will attempt to start a multi-session which loads the selected targets into one multi-package session of GHC. 1a. The closure property states that in order to load components `p` and `q` into the same session that if `p` depends on `z` and `z` depends on `q` then `z` must also be loaded into the session. 1b. Only inplace packages are able to be loaded into a multi session (if a component `z` exists then it is already made into an inplace package by cabal). Therefore cabal has already engineered that there is source code locally available for all packages which we will want to load into a session. 2. The solver is unmodified, the solver is given the repl targets and creates a build plan as before. After the solver is completed then in `setRootTargets` and `pruneInstallPlan` we modify the install plan to enforce the closure property and mark which dependencies need to be promised. * Mark the current components as `BuildInPlaceOnly InMemory`, which indicates to the compiler that it is to be built in a GHC multi-session. * Augment the component repl targets to indicate that components required by the closure property (in addition to normal targets) will be loaded into the repl. * Modify the dependency edges in `compLibDependencies` to indicate which dependencies are the promised ones (which is precisely components which are `BuildInPlaceOnly InMemory` build styles). This is the field which is eventually used to populate the `--dependency` argument to `./Setup configure`. Fixes haskell#8491
