shellcheck.diff

Installing hs-ShellCheck on FreBSD currently installs about 2 GiB
worth of dependencies (including GHC!).  This is embarrassing and
hard to explain and justify to users coming from other systems where
shellcheck is generally statically linked to its Haskell dependencies
and takes up about 20-30 MiB of space.  ShellCheck is a simple tool
that shouldn't require having the entire Haskell toolchain installed.

Can we statically link it to the hs-* dependencies on FreeBSD too?
Alternatively, maybe we could create a 'static' flavor or similar.

Poudriere testport on 12.0-RC1/i386 ok.
