libcmd/installables: force re-evaluation of cached failures
I think that it's not very helpful to get "cached failures" in a wrong
`flake.nix`. This can be very confusing when debugging a Nix expression.
See for instance NixOS/nixpkgs#118115.

In fact, the eval cache allows a forced reevaluation which is used for
e.g. `nix eval`.

This change makes sure that this is the case for `nix build` as well. So
rather than

    λ ma27 [~/Projects/exp] → ../nix/outputs/out/bin/nix build -L --rebuild --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes'
    error: cached failure of attribute 'defaultPackage.x86_64-linux'

the evaluation of already-evaluated (and failed) attributes looks like
this now:

    λ ma27 [~/Projects/exp] → ../nix/outputs/out/bin/nix build -L --rebuild --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes'
    error: attribute 'hell' missing

John Ericson 255d145ba7 Use BuildableReq for buildPaths and ensurePath
This avoids an ambiguity where the `StorePathWithOutputs { drvPath, {}
}` could mean "build `brvPath`" or "substitute `drvPath`" depending on
context.

It also brings the internals closer in line to the new CLI, by
generalizing the `Buildable` type is used there and makes that
distinction already.

In doing so, relegate `StorePathWithOutputs` to being a type just for
backwards compatibility (CLI and RPC).

regnat 9355ecd543 Add a new Cmd type working on RealisedPaths
Where a `RealisedPath` is a store path with its history, meaning either
an opaque path for stuff that has been directly added to the store, or a
`Realisation` for stuff that has been built by a derivation

This is a low-level refactoring that doesn't bring anything by itself
(except a few dozen extra lines of code :/ ), but raising the
abstraction level a bit is important on a number of levels:

- Commands like `nix build` have to query for the realisations after the
  build is finished which is fragile (see
  27905f12e4a7207450abe37c9ed78e31603b67e1 for example). Having them
  oprate directly at the realisation level would avoid that
- Others like `nix copy` currently operate directly on (built) store
  paths, but need a bit more information as they will need to register
  the realisations on the remote side
