Support GHC 9.6.3

[mpilgrem]

GHC 9.6.3 is not in the Version Matrix but is now supported by nightly-2023-10-01.

GHC 9.6.3 has an 'official' Alpine Linux/x86_64 version (dynamically linked) that, I think, is free of the problems that trouble the statically-linked versions for that platform.

Also, Stack 2.13.1 has been released. All of its 'official' Linux binary distributions are now statically linked.

GHC 9.6.3 is not in the Version Matrix but is now supported by nightly-2023-10-01.

glcr.b-data.ch/ghc/ghc-musl:9.6.3 will be available by tonight.

GHC 9.6.3 has an 'official' Alpine Linux/x86_64 version (dynamically linked) that, I think, is free of the problems that trouble the statically-linked versions for that platform.

As long as there is no GHC binary distribution for Alpine Linux/AArch64 available, the images will be created as follows:

1. Multi‑arch: linux/amd64, linux/arm64/v8
2. Built using Hadrian, from source, without docs
3. Built using the LLVM backend
   • flavour: perf+llvm+split_sections

Also, Stack 2.13.1 has been released. All of its 'official' Linux binary distributions are now statically linked.

This is great news! Stack 2.13.1 will be part of

• glcr.b-data.ch/ghc/ghc-musl:9.6.3
• glcr.b-data.ch/ghc/ghc-musl:9.4.7
• glcr.b-data.ch/ghc/ghc-musl:9.2.8

@mpilgrem I will create a pull request for Stack's Dev Containers as soon as everything is ready.

Done.

As long as https://github.com/haskell/docker-haskell does not provide dynamically linked bindists for both Alpine Linux/x86_64 and AArch64 I will continue to maintain GHC musl.
