Update GHC and tools in Nix shell/GHA (#1171)

 - Update cabal-install to 3.12.1.0
 - Update GHC to 9.6.6
 - Update HLS to 2.9.0.0
 - Update cabal-gild to 1.5.0.0
 - Update cabal-docspec to 0.0.0.20240703
 - Update hlint to 2.8.0

Also, we enable the new [`multi-repl`
feature](https://well-typed.com/blog/2023/03/cabal-multi-unit/) by
default. For example, you can now easily spawn a single `ghcid` session
for all of Consensus via

```
ghcid --target all
```

Also, this enables the (experimental) `multipleComponents` session
loading mode of HLS, which is promising to increase robustness (locally,
I haven't gotten spurious "overlapping instance" errors for example).
See eg emacs-lsp/lsp-haskell#184 or
haskell/vscode-haskell#1077 how to enable that
in your editor. Also see https://well-typed.com/blog/2024/07/hls-multi/.
