This function allows you to define a dependency on an already
existing store path. For example, the derivation attribute `src
= builtins.storePath /nix/store/f1d18v1y-source` causes the
derivation to depend on the specified path, which must exist or
be substitutable. Note that this differs from a plain path
(e.g. `src = /nix/store/f1d18v1y-source`) in that the latter
causes the path to be *copied* again to the Nix store, resulting
in a new path (e.g. `/nix/store/ld01dnzc-source-source`).
This function is not available in pure evaluation mode.
