nix: hack static-haskell-nix for updated nixpkgs

This patches static-haskell-nix to work for building postgrest
with updated nixpkgs (from ~202203):

- The ncurses 'enableStatic' argument doesn't exist anymore.
  We use the vanilla package instead, which seems to work fine.
- The 'isExecutable' check fails with a strange error related
  to trying to override 'mkDerivation'.
  We patch 'isExecutable' to check explicitly whether we're building
  postgrest. ('isExecutable' is used to determine whether to build
  a package statically.)
