Binary tarball: Automatically create /nix

The tarball can now be unpacked anywhere. The installation script
uses "sudo" to create /nix if it doesn't exist. It also fetches the
nixpkgs-unstable channel.

nix-instantiate: Add a --no-readonly-mode flag
...
This allows running nix-instantiate --eval-only without performing the
evaluation in readonly mode, letting features like import from
derivation and automatic substitution of builtins.storePath paths work.

Fold two stack trace messages in derivations

Combined with the previous changes, stack traces involving derivations
are now much less verbose, since something like
