Thanks for raising this before the release :)

The functionality for adding complete package information to a snapshot
file lives in the pantry package, not in Stack. I think I'd like to go in
the direction of exposing this functionality via Pantry instead of Stack,
since I don't want to add the complexity back into Stack. Also, the
original reason for removing the freeze functionality was due to questions
of how to handle now-deprecated hpack-only packages. I'd rather not get
into that debate again, and leave that handling up to the caller.

I've put together a Gist demonstrating how to complete a snapshot layer:

https://gist.github.com/snoyberg/99849b2c92b1a34f0cd9c509e2161ab7

It includes a `foo.yaml` custom snapshot file, and a `Main.hs` which uses
that snapshot for running, and then generates a `bar.yaml` with the package
and snapshot information completed. I could imagine adding an
executable-maybe optional-to the pantry package to expose this
functionality. What do you think?
