Similar to the colocated `substituteAll` script and derivation, this
PR adds nix-level support for `substitute` directly. This is useful,
for instance, to be able to easily make tweaks to patch files for an
existing derivation's existing patch files.
* Removed substitute, it's part of the generic builder now.
* stdenv-initial (Linux): use the real generic builder script. This
does require that sed is in the path of the builder of the initial
stdenv.

files easier. Examples:
substitute inputFile outputFile \
--replace "@bindir@" "$out/bin" \
--replace "@gcc@" "$GCC/bin/gcc"
substitute inputFile outputFile --subst-var out
(this is sugar for --replace "@out@" "$out")
substituteInPlace file --replace a b
(input and output are both `file'; the execute bit is preserved)
