Matthew Bauer 3d1bbabe55 Use derivation output name from toDerivation
This fixes an issue where derivations with a primary output that is
not "out" would fail with:

$ nix profile install nixpkgs#sqlite
error: opening directory '/nix/store/2a2ydlgyydly5czcc8lg12n6qqkfz863-sqlite-3.34.1-bin': No such file or directory

This happens because while derivations produce every output when
built, you might not have them if you didn't build the derivation
yourself (for instance, the store path was fetch from a binary cache).
This uses outputName provided from DerivationInfo which appears to
match the first output of the derivation.
