Resolves #8325 and resolves #8094.
cabal install pkg-x.y.z
fails unless--ignore-project
is given #8325cabal v2-install --ignore-project
crashes when project file is present #8094The latter issue was just a typo. The former issue is subtle and has to do with using "--ignore-project" to differentiate between when we want to parse "foo:bar" as a uri vs. a target selector.
Note that I think this is a strict improvement but still pretty weird. I also added a few comments to help explain what's going on.
