Description

In #426 we added basic support for alternate backends.

As discussed in https://github.com/spacchetti/spago/issues/355 we should write down a "CLI spec" that alternate backends can conform to so that they'd work with Spago out of the box.

Research direction

Start by reading issues #426 and #355 to understand the existing alternate-backend support and the expected CLI behavior. Define the CLI contract alternate backends must follow so they work with Spago out of the box, and document that specification. Done means the requirements are written clearly enough for backend implementers to conform to them.
