Running cabal v2-update now requires ghc

[hamishmack]

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

$ which ghc
ghc not found
$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 3.8.1.0
compiled using version 3.8.1.0 of the Cabal library
$ CABAL_DIR=$(mktemp -d) cabal v2-update
Config file path source is default config file.
Config file not found:
/var/folders/2_/mj2rggp115b9bvff2zvyf29h0000gn/T/tmp.poky7IxL/config
Writing default configuration to
/var/folders/2_/mj2rggp115b9bvff2zvyf29h0000gn/T/tmp.poky7IxL/config
Error: cabal: The program 'ghc' version >=7.0.1 is required but it could not
be found.

The steps above worked with cabal-install 3.6.2.0.

Hello, this seems #8352, can you confirm? If so I will close so that all discussion is located in one place.

Yes that is it.
