Support netrc in <nix/fetchurl.nix>

This allows <nix/fetchurl.nix> to fetch private Git/Mercurial
repositories, e.g.

  import <nix/fetchurl.nix> {
    url = 80a14018da.tar.bz2;
    sha256 = "1mgqzn7biqkq3hf2697b0jc4wabkqhmzq2srdymjfa6sb9zb6qs7";
  }

where /etc/nix/netrc contains:

  machine bitbucket.org
  login edolstra
  password blabla...

This works even when sandboxing is enabled.

To do: add unpacking support (i.e. fetchzip functionality).
