Nicolas B. Pierron b8867a0239 Add builtins.string function.
The function 'builtins.split' takes a POSIX extended regular expression
and an arbitrary string. It returns a list of non-matching substring
interleaved by lists of matched groups of the regular expression.

```nix
with builtins;
assert split "(a)b" "abc"      == [ "" [ "a" ] "c" ];
assert split "([ac])" "abc"    == [ "" [ "a" ] "b" [ "c" ] "" ];
assert split "(a)|(c)" "abc"   == [ "" [ "a" null ] "b" [ null "c" ] "" ];
assert split "([[:upper:]]+)" "  FOO   "
                               == [ "  " [ "FOO" ] "   " ];
```
