How do I pass RTS options to ghc itself when using cabal?
This is the problem I'm hitting with `ghc-9.4.5`
```
$ cabal build all --enable-tests --enable-benchmarks
Resolving dependencies...
Build profile: -w ghc-9.4.5 -O1
...
ghc-9.4.5: Stack space overflow: current size 33624 bytes.
ghc-9.4.5: Use `+RTS -Ksize -RTS' to increase it.
```
I've looked in the cabal users' guide and can't find how to do this.

Research direction
The issue points to the Cabal user's guide and the `cabal build all --enable-tests --enable-benchmarks` command; begin by locating the guide section covering GHC options and checking how RTS options are passed to GHC. Done means the guide clearly documents the supported invocation for `+RTS ... -RTS` options.
