This adds a setting 'lazy-trees' that causes flake inputs to be
"mounted" as virtual filesystems on top of /nix/store as random
"virtual" store paths. Only when the store path is actually used as a
dependency of a store derivation do we materialize ("devirtualize")
the input by copying it to its content-addressed location in the
store.
String contexts determine when devirtualization happens. One wrinkle
is that there are cases where we had store paths without proper
contexts, in particular when the user does `toString <path>` (where
<path> is a source tree in the Nix store) and passes the result to a
derivation. This usage was always broken, since it can result in
derivations that lack correct references. But to ensure that we don't
change evaluation results, we introduce a new type of context that
results in devirtualization but not in store references. We also now
print a warning about this.
`nix flake check` had these warnings:
trace: warning: Module argument `nodes.client.config` is deprecated. Use `nodes.client` instead.
trace: warning: Module argument `nodes.client.config` is deprecated. Use `nodes.client` instead.
trace: warning: The option `services.openssh.permitRootLogin' defined in `/nix/store/3m3hfpmbjdf4w39qfjami7ljhvhczay1-source/tests/nixos/nix-copy.nix' has been renamed to `services.openssh.settings.PermitRootLogin'.
trace: warning: Module argument `nodes.http_dns.config` is deprecated. Use `nodes.http_dns` instead.
trace: warning: Module argument `nodes.github.config` is deprecated. Use `nodes.github` instead.
trace: warning: Module argument `nodes.sourcehut.config` is deprecated. Use `nodes.sourcehut` instead.
Two changes:
* The (probably unintentional) hack to handle paths as tarballs has
been removed. This is almost certainly not what users expect and is
inconsistent with flakeref handling everywhere else.
* The hack to support scp-style Git URLs has been moved to the Git
fetcher, so it's now supported not just by fetchTree but by flake
inputs.

This is needed because Nixpkgs now contains dangling symlinks
(pkgs/test/nixpkgs-check-by-name/tests/symlink-invalid/pkgs/by-name/fo/foo/foo.nix).
