This isn't actively used in haskell.nix; however, it's common to
exchange the roles of 8.10.7 and the 9.6 release in the list of flake
variants there. In lieu of explicitly using 9.6.5, using nix' ghc96
alias for the latest point release of 9.6 makes sense to avoid needing
to churn the codebase at each such release. Similar applies to 9.8
within haskell.yml. github-page.yml also needs updating to work with
the changed variant name for building haddock documentation.
