Set up CI and update cabal file

[Kleidukos]

This PR brings the following changes:

• Declare the package as being tested with GHC 9.4, 9.6, and 9.8
• Enable TypeOperators as the code uses the type equality operator (~)
• Correct the location of the source code in the cabal file
• Enable more flags to help with code quality
• Require a recent version of the Cabal library

Bonus commits:

• eee1c93 Removes redundant constraints from the API.
• bdf29a5 Formats the cabal file with cabal-fmt

@prolic This PR is now ready for review. :)

I ran with cabal 3.10.3.0 and had to upgrade to cabal 3.12.1.0 so I can test these code changes, fair enough.

When compiling I see this:

Warning: [misplaced-c-opt] Instead of 'ghc-shared-options: -framework-path'
use 'extra-framework-dirs: /QT_ROOT/lib'

Compilation of the library works though. Next I tried the first demo app with this changes, so I updated github.com/prolic/hsqml-demo-notes cabal.project file and put this:

packages:
    ./

source-repository-package
  type: git
  location: https://github.com/Kleidukos/HsQML
  tag: bdf29a5b0666d9173fc903b442c91f457abd8133

and I see this build error:

@Kleidukos any idea what's wrong? I might be able to look further into this Monday, but maybe you have an idea.

[Kleidukos]

Good catch regarding misplaced-c-opt, I'll fix it.

I'll investigate the build error as well this week-end! This is a c2hs problem.

[prolic]

Maybe the build error is related to the warning and solves itself.

Not really, the cabal warning is for macOS framework paths, the build error is related to c2hs on my linux machine

[prolic]

I am going to review this again ASAP
