Clarify install/ sub-directory role, or integrate it into HLS project #2309

Description

@sir4ur0n

Contributing guidelines explain:

Note: the ./install/ folder is not directly tied to the project so it has dedicated ./install/hie.yaml.[cbl|stack] templates.

But this leads to several questions:

  • Why isn't the install/ folder treated as another package of the root directory HLS project? It would make everything (build, HIE/HLS integration, etc.) simpler, wouldn't it?
  • What is the purpose of this sub-directory? There is no README.md in that directory, and I couldn't find any documentation about it. Based on the description in install/hls-install.cabal I guess it's about installing HLS (for users? for something else?) but this limited information 😅
