haskell-yi-custom: convenience wrapper for configs

Now to use Yi along with its config the user passes all the extra
libraries wanted by their config as extraPackages and builds the
expression. This means there is no hassle from the user about having to
manually create a cabal file and wrap over the Yi binary.
