lang/ghc810: Add the port, slave to lang/ghc.
The need to have different GHC versions installed on the same system became more common in the Haskell ecosystem. The devel/stack port solves this problem by installing its own distributions into the user's HOME dir. Cabal doesn't do that, but uses system-wide GHC installations. This slave port is intended to help for such use cases. This port can also be used as a fallback during major lang/ghc upgrades. At the moment such upgrades require a lot of work to deal with Haskell packages fallout. By switching failing ports to older GHC we can deliver lang/ghc updates faster.
