doc: clarify that optional attrs in a function argument will be ignored unless specified
In `args@{ a ? 1 }: /* ... */` the value `a` won't be a part of `args`
unless it's specified when calling the function, the default value will
be ignored in this case.

My personal point of view is that this behavior is a matter of taste, at
least I was pretty sure that unmatched arguments will be a part of
`args@` while debugging some Nix code last week.

I decided to add a warning to the docs which hopefully reduces the
confusion of further Nix developers who thought the same about `args@`.

Daniel Schaefer 3f192ac80c Add builtins.hashFile
For text files it is possible to do it like so:
`builtins.hashString "sha256" (builtins.readFile /tmp/a)`
but that doesn't work for binary files.

With builtins.hashFile any kind of file can be conveniently hashed.

Add isPath primop
this is added for completeness' sake since all the other possible
`builtins.typeOf` results have a corresponding `builtins.is<Type>`

Benjamin Hipple 65453e2d77 Docs: update fixed output hashes
`fetchurl` will now throw if given an `md5`, and the hashes have generally
been upgraded to avoid it and use `sha256` as a default. This updates the
documentation examples in the manual accordingly.

Shea Levy 69d82e5c58
Add path primop.
builtins.path allows specifying the name of a path (which makes paths
with store-illegal names now addable), allows adding paths with flat
instead of recursive hashes, allows specifying a filter (so is a
generalization of filterSource), and allows specifying an expected
hash (enabling safe path adding in pure mode).
