Add path primop.

Shea Levy 69d82e5c58
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).

Nicolas B. Pierron b8867a0239 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" ] "   " ];

Scott R. Parish 96d3534a9e fix "nix-build" examples 
The existing "nix-build" examples were failing:

  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 completely remove unneeded path argument, suggested by @joachifm

Updated to remove other occurences of `all-packages.nix` from files as
suggested by @domenkozar
