use translation table for drv string parsing

the table is very small compared to cache sizes and a single indexed
load is faster than three comparisons.

before:

Benchmark 1: nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system'
  Time (mean ± σ):      6.907 s ±  0.012 s    [User: 5.272 s, System: 1.429 s]
  Range (min … max):    6.893 s …  6.926 s    10 runs

after:

Benchmark 1: nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system'
  Time (mean ± σ):      6.883 s ±  0.016 s    [User: 5.250 s, System: 1.424 s]
  Range (min … max):    6.860 s …  6.905 s    10 runs
