Add support for impure derivations

Browse source 
Impure derivations are derivations that can produce a different result
every time they're built. Example:

  stdenv.mkDerivation {
    name = "impure";
    __impure = true; # marks this derivation as impure
    outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
    outputHashMode = "recursive";
    buildCommand = "date > $out";
  };

Some important characteristics:

* This requires the 'impure-derivations' experimental feature.

* Impure derivations are not "cached". Thus, running "nix-build" on
  the example above multiple times will cause a rebuild every time.

* They are implemented similar to CA derivations, i.e. the output is
  moved to a content-addressed path in the store. The difference is
  that we don't register a realisation in the Nix database.

* Pure derivations are not allowed to depend on impure derivations. In
  the future fixed-output derivations will be allowed to depend on
  impure derivations, thus forming an "impurity barrier" in the
  dependency graph.

* When sandboxing is enabled, impure derivations can access the
  network in the same way as fixed-output derivations. In relaxed
  sandboxing mode, they can access the local filesystem.
