[bug#61420] [PATCH 22/31] build: haskell-build-system: Build static executables by default.

[Lars-Dominik Braun]

This is the only way to get reasonably small binaries that don’t pull
in a ton of ghc-* packages.

* guix/build/haskell-build-system.scm (configure): Explicitly
add --enable-static and --disable-executable-dynamic, as well as
-split-sections to configure flags.
