Eelco Dolstra 4ccd48ce24 Add a "filter" primop
Evaluation of a NixOS configuration spends quite a lot of time in the
"filter" function in Nixpkgs.  As implemented in Nixpkgs, this is a
O(n^2) operation, so it's a good candidate for providing a more
efficient (i.e. primop) implementation.  Using it gives a ~10% speed
increase and a significant reduction in the number of evaluations.
