cabal-version

[Albert Krewinkel]

I just noticed that I'm using `cabal-version: 2.4` in
hslua-module-path, while pandoc and all(?) other dependencies can be
built with cabal 2.2. Should I update my package, or is cabal 2.4
acceptable?

Cabal 2.4 has nice features, including the `common` stanza which
helps to reduce boilerplate. But Debian stable still on cabal 2.2,
if that matters.

I like to make pandoc buildable using debian stable, so
if it's not too complex to revise to use 2.2, that would
be nice.  OTOH, if we're not testing on CI with 2.2, then
it's entirely possible that other dependencies also require
2.4...

I learned that the common stanza was actually introduced in cabal
2.2, so the fix was just a matter of changing `cabal-version`.

The build succeeds with cabal 2.2, and I've created a PR to check
this in the future.
