Release 24.05: update hercules ci packages

[roberth]

Description of changes

• Deliver stability improvements to 24.05.

• Haskell package sets weren't normally updated on stable, so this is a bit new-ish. I've added a bit of code to replace packages. Previously (year ago?) I'd just used non-hackage-packages.nix directly, but I figured the following is a nicer solution:

haskell-modules/replacements-by-name

This directory is scanned, and all .nix files are called in order to replace their respective packages in the haskellPackages set.
They're loaded after hackage-packages.nix but before any overrides are applied.
See non-hackage-packages.nix for the implementation.

This is used for selective backports of updates, as the hackage package set won't be updated in its entirety.

I think it is probably wise to rebase this onto staging-next-24.05 and merging it into that branch. A backport of #312934 is in staging-next-24.05 atm and I have no clue how the changes will interact.

They merge fine and I don't see anything that's worrying in the diffs. Also evaluates fine.

This PR behaves a lot like updates in hackage-packages.nix would; it just updates a few packages a little bit more.

I appreciate your concern and thanks for the heads-up.
I'll check with staging again in a few days, when it's actually feasible to build, just to be sure.

Staging has released and I've found no issues after merging this locally.
