   * fix cabal install --program-suffix/prefix (fix #10290 and #10476)
   
   When checking for existing installations, cabal would not account for
   an affix (suffix or prefix). So, if you had a `hello` binary installed, installing a
   second one with a non-empty affix (a perfectly legal operation) would
   fail.
   
   The reason seemed to be a typo in
   09c04e9, which passed the arguments to
   the Symlink structure in a wrong order.
   
   When failing to install a binary because of an existing one, cabal would
   report suffix-less existing target even if a suffix was set.
   
   * Add regression tests for overwrite policies and porgram-affixes
   
   Add regression tests for the `program-prefix` and `program-suffix` flags
   combined with the overwrite-policy.
   In short, the overwrite-policy needs to take potential program affixes
   into account when deciding whether it will need to overwrite a program
   path during installation.
