Add comprehensive matrix of GHC bindists #3024

General summary/comments

I attempted to do a stack setup on MacOS of the integersimple variant of GHC 8.0.2. However, that's apparently not currently supported. It's my understanding that interested users are currently expected to provide these bindist variations, but I didn't have much luck finding a list that shows what's currently available.

Ideally, I think it'd be great to have a table somewhere easily discoverable (perhaps even accessible via the CLI itself) with a format sort of like:

GHC Version Host architecture Host platform Target architecture Target platform GHC variant (standard / integersimple)
