README should suggest cabal install --global, for those unfamiliar to cabal/Haskell #3

This may be particular to me, and/or may be obvious to Haskell users. But as someone new to xmonad and Haskell, I was kind of puzzled as to why the action bound to Alt+P - dmenu/yeganesh - was not working. Using Manjaro Linux (XFCE Flavor) v0.83.

Installing yeganesh globally like cabal install --global yeganesh did the trick for me, and now it works great. Maybe the README should instruct accordingly. Thanks for the great config.

Please close this issue.

Note that I removed the --global flag for users that don't have/want to use superuser access to install things from cabal. The entire config is setup properly for this as well.

Good call!
