Description: `community/clash-ghc` list `clash` as conflicts, leading to conflict with `community/clash`.

`community/clash-ghc` is a CAES Language for Synchronous Hardware; and `community/clash` is a rule based proxy in Go. I believe two tools are totally unrelated, despite of the coincidence in naming.

We may remove `clash` from clash-ghc's conflict list.


Additional info:
* package version(s): clash-ghc 1.6.4-65

I just realized that both packages provide `/usr/bin/clash`, so they are indeed in conflict. There's nothing wrong with Arch's packaging, it's just a sad story.
