94812cca98 Backport SourcePath from the lazy-trees branch
This introduces the SourcePath type from lazy-trees as an abstraction
for accessing files from inputs that may not be materialized in the
real filesystem (e.g. Git repositories). Currently, however, it's just
a wrapper around CanonPath, so it shouldn't change any behaviour. (On
lazy-trees, SourcePath is a <InputAccessor, CanonPath> tuple.)

5576d5e987 Parse string context elements properly
Prior to this change, we had a bunch of ad-hoc string manipulation code
scattered around. This made it hard to figure out what data model for
string contexts is.

Now, we still store string contexts most of the time as encoded strings
--- I was wary of the performance implications of changing that --- but
whenever we parse them we do so only through the
`NixStringContextElem::parse` method, which handles all cases. This
creates a data type that is very similar to `DerivedPath` but:

 - Represents the funky `=<drvpath>` case as properly distinct from the
   others.

 - Only encodes a single output, no wildcards and no set, for the
   "built" case.

(I would like to deprecate `=<path>`, after which we are in spitting
distance of `DerivedPath` and could maybe get away with fewer types, but
that is another topic for another day.)

Add plugins to make Nix more extensible.
All plugins in plugin-files will be dlopened, allowing them to
statically construct instances of the various Register* types Nix
supports.
