nix repl: add :edit command

Browse source 
This allows to have a repl-centric workflow to working on nixpkgs.

Usage:

    :edit <package> - heuristic that find the package file path

    :edit <path> - just open the editor on the file path

Once invoked, `nix repl` will open $EDITOR on that file path. Once the
editor exits, `nix repl` will automatically reload itself.
