We can safely drop the upper bound for the jailbreak workaround for
directory >= 1.3.9.0 since all GHCs will probably have this constraint
going forward.
After final improvements to the official formatter implementation,
this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it.
This is part of the implementation of RFC 166.
Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that
aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months.
This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged.
Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest,
which should not cause as many conflicts.
A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and
already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here
should also stay formatted.

This makes the hadrian expressions much simpler as we no longer need to
thread through extra arguments for special workarounds.
common-hadrian.nix decides in one place which patches we need and
directly applies them to the source used to build everything.
Bootsrapping with 9.6 doesn't work with 9.8.2 upstream due to erroneous
bounds on Cabal (<https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/24100>)
which was planned to be addressed in 9.8.2, but apparently hasn't been,
so we need to extend the range for the workaround patch.
That GHC version should be allowed due to bootstrapping support windows
GHC HQ promises, but isn't possible in practice due to an overly strict
constraint on Cabal in hadrian.
