nix-prefetch-url: Add --executable flag
pkgs.fetchurl supports an executable argument, which is especially nice
when downloading a large executable. This patch adds the same option to
nix-prefetch-url.

I have tested this to work on the simple case of prefetching a little
executable:

1. nix-prefetch-url --executable https://my/little/script
2. Paste the hash into a pkgs.fetchurl-based package, script-pkg.nix
3. Delete the output from the store to avoid any misidentified artifacts
4. Realise the package script-pkg.nix
5. Run the executable

I repeated the above while using --name, as well.

I suspect --executable would have no meaningful effect if combined with
--unpack, but I have not tried it.

hacking.md: add --prefix flag to configure
Otherwise, the steps advertised in this document won't actually work
(e.g. `make install` will fail, trying to access /usr, and
`./inst/bin/nix` won't exist).

Matthew Bauer 641c950701 Add hashed-mirrors back
Some users have their own hashed-mirrors setup, that is used to mirror
things in addition to what’s available on tarballs.nixos.org. Although
this should be feasable to do with a Binary Cache, it’s not always
easy, since you have to remember what "name" each of the tarballs has.
Continuing to support hashed-mirrors is cheap, so it’s best to leave
support in Nix. Note that NIX_HASHED_MIRRORS is also supported in
Nixpkgs through fetchurl.nix.

Note that this excludes tarballs.nixos.org from the default, as in
\#3689. All of these are available on cache.nixos.org.

libutil/logging: extend internal-json logger to make it more machine-readable
The new error-format is pretty nice from a UX point-of-view, however
it's fairly hard to parse the output e.g. for editor plugins such as
vim-ale[1] that use `nix-instantiate --parse` to determine syntax errors in
Nix expression files.

This patch extends the `internal-json` logger by adding the fields
`line`, `column` and `file` to easily locate an error in a file and the
field `raw_msg` which contains the error-message itself without
code-lines and additional helpers.

An exemplary output may look like this:

```
[nix-shell]$ ./inst/bin/nix-instantiate ~/test.nix --log-format minimal
{"action":"msg","column":1,"file":"/home/ma27/test.nix","level":0,"line":4,"raw_msg":"syntax error, unexpected IF, expecting $end","msg":"<full error-msg with code-lines etc>"}
```
