See #9833 If a ghc ships with a compatible Cabal, it will be preferred by the solver on `cabal install cabal-install`; the new `cabal-install` should in fact be compatible. So we test this on release branches that have had at least one release on Hackage. (Ideally we'd check ghc instead, but we can't do that from GHA. Even checking Hackage is pretty painful.) (cherry picked from commit 3a7a0b7)

If a ghc ships with a compatible Cabal, it will be preferred by the solver on
cabal install cabal-install; the newcabal-installshould in fact be compatible. So we test this on release branches that have been included in at least one GHC release.Fixes: #9833

CI note: there's really no way to test this, aside from reproducing #9833 for which it's a bit too late. Testing will only be possible with the 9.12 branch and future release branches. As such, manual CI would mean making an sdist of the
HEADof9.12branch, then trying to build that sdist against 9.10.1 (which is essentially what this does, except that it won't actually do that test until it's backported). Note that that build may well succeed, because I've been trying to be careful with backports specifically to avoid repeating the mistakes we made with 3.10.3; the point of this PR is to try to catch that kind of failure in CI before we make a release with a breaking change.Template B: This PR does not modify behaviour or interface
