primops/storePath: add trace to pure mode error

Browse source 
As described in #4745 it's otherwise fairly hard to understand where
this is coming from. Say you have an expression which uses e.g.
`types.package`:

``` nix
{ outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: {
    packages.x86_64-linux.hello = let
      foo = nixpkgs.lib.evalModules {
        modules = [
          {
            options.foo.bar = with nixpkgs.lib; mkOption { type = types.package; };
          }
          {
            foo.bar = ./.;
          }
        ];
      };
    in builtins.trace foo.config.foo.bar.outPath nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.hello;
    defaultPackage.x86_64-linux = self.packages.x86_64-linux.hello;
  };
}
```

Then you'll get an error trace like this:

```
