Implement --cabal-file, allows multiple Cabal files in directory

This is primarily intended for use with the Cabal test suite (allowing
us to easily specify multiple Cabal packages for the same Haskell source
files), but maybe some end-users will find it useful as well.  If there
are multiple Cabal files in the current working directory, --cabal-file
(for configure) allows you to disambiguate which one to build with.

There's a big hack to handle the BOM check, as it is inconvenient to
plumb the flag value all the way to the check code.  Some bigger
refactoring needed, see #3552.
