Add builtins.string function.
...
The function 'builtins.split' takes a POSIX extended regular expression
and an arbitrary string. It returns a list of non-matching substring
interleaved by lists of matched groups of the regular expression.
```nix
with builtins;
assert split "(a)b" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" ] "c" ];
assert split "([ac])" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" ] "b" [ "c" ] "" ];
assert split "(a)|(c)" "abc" == [ "" [ "a" null ] "b" [ null "c" ] "" ];
assert split "([[:upper:]]+)" " FOO "
== [ " " [ "FOO" ] " " ];
```

fix "nix-build" examples
...
The existing "nix-build" examples were failing:
error: cannot auto-call a function that has an argument without a default value (‘system’)
Thanks to @groxxda on irc for pointing out the fix!
Updated to completely remove unneeded path argument, suggested by @joachifm
Updated to remove other occurences of `all-packages.nix` from files as
suggested by @domenkozar
