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 NixOS#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.

Motivation
End goal: make
(mkDerivation x).drvPathbehave 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.getContextandbuiltins.appendContext, which is also true of those other two primops.)Context
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.
Progress towards #7910.
