Description

`stack dot` already has a `--[no-]include-base` flag to hide dependencies on `base` which about every package has.

The [boot libraries](https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary/libraries/version-history) are similar to `base` in that they are included in every GHC installation. Excluding all of these could simplify many package graphs.

An alternative suggestion for the name would be `--prune-boot-libraries`.
