Add "nix edit" command
This is a little convenience command that opens the Nix expression of the specified package. For example, nix edit nixpkgs.perlPackages.Moose opens <nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix> in $EDITOR (at the right line number for some editors). This requires the package to have a meta.position attribute.
