docs: Use the explicit ref for fetchGit with a tag
...
With the merge of #2582 , the syntax "tags/1.9" for refs does not work
anymore.
However, the new syntax "refs/tags/1.9" seems to support annotated tags,
such as "refs/tags/2.0".
Closes #2385 .

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 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).

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" ] " " ];
