Add path primop.
...
builtins.path allows specifying the name of a path (which makes paths
with store-illegal names now addable), allows adding paths with flat
instead of recursive hashes, allows specifying a filter (so is a
generalization of filterSource), and allows specifying an expected
hash (enabling safe path adding in pure mode).

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" ] " " ];

error: cannot auto-call a function that has an argument without a default value (‘system’)
Thanks to @groxxda on irc for pointing out the fix!

Updated to remove other occurences of `all-packages.nix` from files as
