fetchTree: Allow fetching plain files
Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over http(s), or from the local file. Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to `tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension), the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that: - {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so `https://foo.com/bar` will be a `file` input and `https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz` as a `tarball` input) - `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with the `file+` part removed) - `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with the `tarball+` part removed) Fix #3785 Co-Authored-By: Tony Olagbaiye <me@fron.io>

Selecting derivation outputs using the attribute selection syntax

(e.g. `nixpkgs#glibc.dev`) no longer works.

* `builtins.fetchTree` (and flake inputs) can now be used to fetch plain files

over the `http(s)` and `file` protocols in addition to directory tarballs.
