Add 'isolateTests' cabal flag to make plugin install cabal-fmt

For CI, we want to run the tests with a specific cabal-fmt version,
installed automatically by cabal.
However, locally, we might want to test with a locally installed
cabal-fmt version.
This flag allows developers to either let cabal install the
build-tool-depends or install a fitting version locally.
