parse cabal file for doctest params

[alanz]

I have put together a generic doctest driver based on the library in a cabal file, see
https://github.com/alanz/HaRe/blob/wip/test/doctests.hs

This introduces a dependency on ghc-mod.

I am not sure if I should make a pull request here, or if it should live in a different place

Hey! In general this is something we want to have. But having a dependency on ghc-mod is somewhat problematic. Maybe put it into a separate package (e.g. cabal-doctest), so that people can experiment with it. If we see it is more useful than @ekmett's custom Setup.hs, we could then try to get rid of the ghc-mod dependency and eventually ship it with doctest.

Where can I see @kmett's custome Setup.hs?
