What is the Hadrian equivalent of
make show VALUE=BOOT_PKGS
I don't believe there is currently a command-line equivalent. The list
itself is known as Settings.Default.stage0Packages.
What is your use-case?
I was updating the Commentary (commentary/libraries.md) and found this
text:

    To find out which packages are currently zero-boot packages, do
    the following in a GHC build:

    ```wiki
    $ make show VALUE=BOOT_PKGS
    ```

Since `make` will go away eventually, I wanted to tell people how to
discover zero-boot packages using Hadrian.
