Extend Cabal `build-depends` from the command line.

`cabal-add` does not have limitations of

[`cabal-edit`](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-edit):

it works on any sectioned Cabal file,

supports stanzas and conditional blocks,

and preserves original formatting.

Install the executable with

```

cabal install cabal-add

```

To add a dependency on `foo`, switch to a folder with your project and execute

```

cabal-add foo

```

If you are using Cabal 3.12+ which supports

[external commands](https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/3.12/external-commands.html),

you can omit the dash:

```

cabal add foo

```

Command-line arguments:

* `--project-file FILE`

  Set the path of the cabal.project file. Detect `cabal.project` or `*.cabal`

  in the current folder, if omitted.

* `ARGS`

  Optional [target](https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cabal-commands.html#target-forms)

  (wildcards such as `exe`, `test` or `bench` are supported) to update, followed

  by a non-empty list of package(s) to add to

  `build-depends` section. Version bounds can be

  provided as well, use quotes to escape comparisons

  from your shell. E. g., `'foo < 0.2'`.
