The function `configureCabalFlags` has a list of packages that should be called with certain flags when passing them to `cabal2nix`. For example, for `hslua`, it specifies that it is to used the "system" version of lua (the one provided by nix) and not the version of lua that comes embedded in the package. Notice that cabal2nix assumes assumes this flag in newer versions of its `postProcess` method, and if the flag is not given, it will fail attempting to replace package "lua" by "lua_5_3".
Adds a `nix` section in the stack.yaml, as an `opt-in`, so it shouldn't break previous behaviour.

I see the checks failed, but as far I can see, this is unrelated to my changes |

In any case, a derivation forhsluathat doesn't includelua_5_3as a dependency would be incomplete.This PR also contains two minor changes (they could be moved to a different PR if needed):
