doc: clarify that optional attrs in a function argument will be ignored unless specified 
In `args@{ a ? 1 }: /* ... */` the value `a` won't be a part of `args`
unless it's specified when calling the function, the default value will
be ignored in this case.

My personal point of view is that this behavior is a matter of taste, at
least I was pretty sure that unmatched arguments will be a part of
`args@` while debugging some Nix code last week.

I decided to add a warning to the docs which hopefully reduces the
confusion of further Nix developers who thought the same about `args@`.

Eelco Dolstra b0fc5bcee9 Start of flake documentation 
Imported from https://gist.github.com/edolstra/40da6e3a4d4ee8fd019395365e0772e7.

The goal is to turn this into an RFC eventually and later to integrate
it into the manual.

Daniel Schaefer 3f192ac80c Add builtins.hashFile 
For text files it is possible to do it like so:
`builtins.hashString "sha256" (builtins.readFile /tmp/a)`
but that doesn't work for binary files.

With builtins.hashFile any kind of file can be conveniently hashed.

Spencer Baugh 5f1891b795 nix-store: make --dump-db take a list of paths to dump 
Inside a derivation, exportReferencesGraph already provides a way to
dump the Nix database for a specific closure. On the command line,
--dump-db gave us the same information, but only for the entire Nix
database at once.

With this change, one can now pass a list of paths to --dump-db to get
the Nix database dumped for just those paths. (The user is responsible
for ensuring this is a closure, like for --export).

Among other things, this is useful for deploying a closure to a new
host without using --import/--export; one can use tar to transfer the
store paths, and --dump-db/--load-db to transfer the validity
information. This is useful if the new host doesn't actually have Nix
yet, and the closure that is being deployed itself contains Nix.
