The previous approach in #4405 would no longer work, due to @qrilka's explanation in #4405 (comment). This implementation adds a new flag --global-hints which allows the user to bypass the need for an installation of GHC. We could arguably flip the default to not requiring GHC to be installed.

This will close #4390.

Note: Documentation fixes for https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/ should target the "stable" branch, not master.

Please include the following checklist in your PR:

  • Any changes that could be relevant to users have been recorded in the ChangeLog.md
  • The documentation has been updated, if necessary.

Please also shortly describe how you tested your change. Bonus points for added tests!

Refactor to make it clearer where dot needs EnvConfig
e86cd86 
This is towards addressing:

* #4390
* #4405
@snoyberg
Add --global-hints flag for dot and ls dependencies
e34bfe2 
This flag allows us to bypass the need for an installation of GHC for
these commands, at the cost of not getting completely accurate
information on packages that ship with GHC.

* Fixes #4390
* Closes #4405
