Add generic build instructions (Cabal) #353

This patch adds build instructions to use with cabal.

This is mainly targeting users who don't have access to nix or use a
Fedora distro. Cabal is somewhat universal to Haskell so theoretically
using Cabal should work everywhere. However, these instructions don't
give any help in regards problems users could face like:

  • missing system dependencies
  • GHC problems
  • version mismatches
  • etc

Fixes #352

As I mentioned in #352 it might be worth adding a link to that issue to help any future arch users looking to build the project.

I've added an additional patch linking to the issue with the Arch Linux workaround. Hopefully it'll help more people to get started until someone picks up maintainer ship (and I guess we've released our first release).

This patch adds a link to the issue raised by @hughwilliams94 when
building Purebred on Arch Linux. Understandably this is only a
workaround, not a real fix or instructions. However I think it is still
better than not having anything at all.
