buildenv: throw BuildEnvFileConflictError with more context
At the moment an Error is thrown that only holds an error message
regarding `nix-env` and `nix profile`. These tools make use of
builtins.buildEnv, but buildEnv is also used in other places. These
places are unrelated to Nix profiles, so the error shouldn't mention
these tools.

This generic error is now BuildEnvFileConflictError, which holds more
contextual information about the files that were conflicting while
building the environment.
