We set the `store-dir` (`outputs.cabal-store`) explicitly in the cabal configuration file because cabal 3.10 has some context-dependent default for it: If `~/.cabal` is not present, it uses the new XDG layout, otherwise not.

We set the
store-dir(outputs.cabal-store) explicitly in the cabal configuration file because cabal 3.10 has some context-dependent default for it: If~/.cabalis not present, it uses the new XDG layout, otherwise the legacy layout.Update: Also need to create
~/.cabalto avoid XDG fallback, so we create~/.cabal/bin. Likely this makes the "setstore-dir" patch obsolete, but we keep it for uniformity (it anyway happens on Windows, now on all platforms).Closes #210.
