Profpatsch 41e13149f7 lib/debug: add traceFnSeqN
Immensely helpful when you want to see the changes a function makes to
its value as it passes through.

Example:

```
$ nix-instantiate --strict --eval -E '(with import ./lib; traceFnSeqN 2 "id" (x: x) { a.b.c = 3; })'
trace: {
  fn = "id";
  from = {
    a = {
      b = {…};
    };
  };
  to = {
    a = {
      b = {…};
    };
  };
}
{ a = { b = { c = 3; }; }; }
```

/* Collection of functions useful for debugging
broken nix expressions.
* `trace`-like functions take two values, print
the first to stderr and return the second.
* `traceVal`-like functions take one argument
which both printed and returned.
* `traceSeq`-like functions fully evaluate their
traced value before printing (not just to weak
head normal form like trace does by default).
* Functions that end in `-Fn` take an additional
function as their first argument, which is applied
to the traced value before it is printed.
