This field used to be a `BasicDerivation`, but this `BasicDerivation` was downcasted to a `Derivation` when needed (implicitely or not), so we might as well make it a full `Derivation` and upcast it when needed. This also allows getting rid of a weird duplication in the way we compute the static output hashes for the derivation. We had to do it differently and in a different place depending on whether the derivation was a full derivation or just a basic drv, but we can now do it unconditionally on the full derivation.
