Subject: [PATCH] Add builtins.unique [WIP]

This cuts ~4.5s from "nix-env -qaP -f `<nixpkgs>` --out-path" and
reduces memory allocations from 7.49 to 7.16 GiB.

Note that builtins.unique requires a less-than comparator function,
which is a change from the 'unique' function in Nixpkgs which uses an
equality function.
