Stack is missing cabal's --extra-framework-dirs

[TravisWhitaker]

I'm working on a macOS-specific package that needs to link against frameworks. With cabal, I need to configure like this:

$ cabal configure --extra-framework-dirs=/System/Library/Frameworks/ ...

But stack seems to have no equivalent option. I'm sure it's possible to get around this with --ghc-options, but it'd be nice to be able to stick this in stack.yaml, just like extra-lib-dirs. I'd imagine that extra-framework-dirs works just like extra-lib-dirs and that this would be easy to add, but I don't know for sure.

Indeed, this is not currently supported. Stack should really support arbitrary configure-options - it's been a longstanding omission - #1438

Alternatively, support for this specific option could be added.

@TravisWhitaker : What about adding the cabal option extra-framework-dirs to your .cabal file?

extra-framwork-dirs was introduced by Cabal 1.24.0.0.

One can't assume what the value of extra-framework-dirs should be, especially if Nix is in use.
