only the requested executables are built. Fixes #1503.

Only pass executable name from run to build

run allows for other arguments than the executable name i.e. arguments
to pass to the executable when we run it. We need to filter these out
from the extraArgs we pass to build.

Revert "Only pass executable name from run to build"

This fix is incorrect since "--" was already stripped out of extraArgs.

This reverts commit 9092b59a045485c164d1b758601d0422aa18f70f.
(cherry picked from commit 37af946a3e58056695f1ecaed92143705e677bb9)
'cabal run': don't pass any extra args to build except the exe name.
