libexpr: throw a more helpful eval-error if a builtin is not available due to a missing feature-flag
I found it somewhat confusing to have an error like error: attribute 'getFlake' missing if the required experimental-feature (`flakes`) is not enabled. Instead, I'd expect Nix to throw an error just like it's the case when using e.g. `nix flake` without `flakes` being enabled. With this change, the error looks like this: $ nix-instantiate -E 'builtins.getFlake "nixpkgs"' error: Cannot call 'builtins.getFlake' because experimental Nix feature 'flakes' is disabled. You can enable it via '--extra-experimental-features flakes'. at «string»:1:1: 1| builtins.getFlake "nixpkgs" | ^ I didn't use `settings.requireExperimentalFeature` here on purpose because this doesn't contain a position. Also, it doesn't seem as if we need to catch the error and check for the missing feature here since this already happens at evaluation time.
