Add primop ‘scopedImport’
‘scopedImport’ works like ‘import’, except that it takes a set of
attributes to be added to the lexical scope of the expression,
essentially extending or overriding the builtin variables.  For
instance, the expression
  scopedImport { x = 1; } ./foo.nix
where foo.nix contains ‘x’, will evaluate to 1.
This has a few applications:
* It allows getting rid of function argument specifications in package
  expressions. For instance, a package expression like:
    { stdenv, fetchurl, libfoo }:
    stdenv.mkDerivation { ... buildInputs = [ libfoo ]; }
  can now we written as just
    stdenv.mkDerivation { ... buildInputs = [ libfoo ]; }
  and imported in all-packages.nix as:
    bar = scopedImport pkgs ./bar.nix;
  So whereas we once had dependencies listed in three places
  (buildInputs, the function, and the call site), they now only need
  to appear in one place.
* It allows overriding builtin functions. For instance, to trace all
  calls to ‘map’:
  let
    overrides = {
      map = f: xs: builtins.trace "map called!" (map f xs);
      # Ensure that our override gets propagated by calls to
      # import/scopedImport.
      import = fn: scopedImport overrides fn;
      scopedImport = attrs: fn: scopedImport (overrides // attrs) fn;
      # Also update ‘builtins’.
      builtins = builtins // overrides;
    };
  in scopedImport overrides ./bla.nix
* Similarly, it allows extending the set of builtin functions. For
  instance, during Nixpkgs/NixOS evaluation, the Nixpkgs library
  functions could be added to the default scope.
There is a downside: calls to scopedImport are not memoized, unlike
import. So importing a file multiple times leads to multiple parsings
/ evaluations. It would be possible to construct the AST only once,
but that would require careful handling of variables/environments.
