Selecting derivation outputs using the attribute selection syntax Selecting derivation outputs using the attribute selection syntax

* Running nix with the new `--debugger` flag will cause it to start a repl session if
there is an exception thrown during eval, or if `builtins.break` is called. From
there one can inspect symbol values and evaluate nix expressions. In debug mode
the following new repl commands are available:
```
:env Show env stack
:bt Show trace stack
:st Show current trace
:st <idx> Change to another trace in the stack
:c Go until end of program, exception, or builtins.break().
:s Go one step
```
