Title: Add a no-threaded flag for cabal-install.

Some platforms (e.g. ARM) don't have a threaded RTS, which makes it impossible
to build cabal-install without editing the source by hand (see #1129). This
patch makes life a bit easier for people using these platforms.

Alternatively, we could add a configure check instead of a flag, but that would
make building cabal-install harder on Windows.
