haskell: preserve overrideScope on override
We want code such as `(pkg.override {}).overrideScope (self: super: {})` to work. This didn't work before, since `override` will call the original package again, and the attribute `overideScope`, which `callPackageWithScope` added, wasn't added again. The fix for this is to modify the package function itself to include the `callPackageWithScope` attribute, so it'll be re-added whenever the function is overriden for with arguments. There is a small problem here though: since callPackage uses some magic (`builtins.functionArgs`) to determine the auto-arguments of a function, we can't just write `callPackageWith scope drvScope`, since `builtins.functionArgs drvScope` will be `{}`. To fix this, we implement our own `callPackageWith`. Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/7953. Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/9336.
