`check-compiler-materialization` and `updateMaterialized` for all GHC versions in one command

[peterbecich]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

To ensure the materialization is up-to-date, a.f.a.i.k. it's necessary to run through every GHC version with this:

nix-build scripts/check-compiler-materialization --argstr compiler-nix-name ghcXYZ

and /nix/store/....updateMaterialized until check-compiler-materialization completes successfully: https://input-output-hk.github.io/haskell.nix/dev/adding-new-ghc.html#add-the-materialized-files

Describe the solution you'd like

nix-build scripts/check-compiler-materialization --argstr compiler-nix-name all

and calls updateMaterialized

or

nix-build scripts/check-compiler-materialization

which covers all versions and calls updateMaterialized, or

a bash script which executes check-compiler-materialization for all GHC versions and repeatedly executes /nix/store/.*-updateMaterialized as needed, similar to: https://input-output-hk.github.io/haskell.nix/tutorials/materialization.html#how-can-we-update-the-nix-files-with-a-script

Describe alternatives you've considered

What is the correct way to use the compiler-nix-names argument for multiple GHC versions?

haskell.nix/scripts/check-compiler-materialization/default.nix

{ compiler-nix-name ? throw "Please pass `compiler-nix-name` or `compiler-nix-names`", compiler-nix-names ? [ compiler-nix-name ], systems ? [ builtins.currentSystem ] }:
