John Ericson 765436e300 Add builtins.addDrvOutputDependencies
End goal: make `(mkDerivation x).drvPath` behave like a non-DrvDeep
context.

Problem: users won't be able to recover the DrvDeep behavior when
nixpkgs makes this change.

Solution: add this primop.

The new primop is fairly simple, and is supposed to complement other
existing ones (`builtins.storePath`, `builtins.outputOf`) so there are
simple ways to construct strings with every type of string context
element.

(It allows nothing we couldn't already do with `builtins.getContext` and `builtins.appendContext`, which is also true of those other two primops.)

This was originally in #8595, but then it was proposed to land some doc
changes separately. So now the code changes proper is just moved to
this, and the doc will be done in that.
