Martin Fischer 7a8a28629c feat(nix-instantiate): add --raw flag 
The experimental `nix eval` command already supports a `--raw` flag.
This commit implements the same flag for the stable nix-instantiate command.

Until now instructions and scripts that didn't want to rely on experimental
features had to use workarounds such as:

    nix-instantiate --eval <something> | tr -d \"

(which also undesirably also removes double quotation marks within the string), or

    nix-instantiate --eval <something> | jq -j

(which undesirably depends on another package).
