* When writing the user environment manifest, filter out non-string

attributes from the meta attribute.  Not doing so caused nix-env to
  barf on the "psi" package, which has a meta.function attribute,
  the textual serialisation of which causes a gigantic string to be
  produced --- so big that it causes nix-env to run out of memory.

  Note however that "meta" really only should contain strings.  
  meta.function should be passthru.function.
