regnat d38f860c3e Add a way to get all the outputs of a derivation with their label Generalize `queryDerivationOutputNames` and `queryDerivationOutputs` by adding a `queryDerivationOutputMap` that returns the map `outputName=>outputPath` (not that this is not equivalent to merging the results of `queryDerivationOutputs` and `queryDerivationOutputNames` as sets don't preserve the order, so we would end up with an incorrect mapping). squash!
