Matthew Bauer 2f4250a416 Add "export" to Nix
This adds a ‘nix export’ command which hooks into nix-bundle. It can
be used in a similar way as nix-bundle, with the benefit of hooking
into the new “app” functionality. For instance,

$ nix export nixpkgs#jq
$ ./jq --help
jq - commandline JSON processor [version 1.6]
...
$ scp jq machine-without-nix:
$ ssh machine-without-nix ./jq
jq - commandline JSON processor [version 1.6]
...

Note that nix-bundle currently requires Linux to run. Other exporters
might not have that requirement.

“exporters” are meant to be reusable, so that, other repos can
implement their own bundling.
