There is a reoccuring problem in readTree-type repositories that use nix-shell, where evaluation of the full set of dependencies that should be made available to users takes a noticeable amount of time, slowing down operations when `direnv` is involved. In depot, we have so far fixed this by maintaining a manual `//bin` directory which contains a set of symlinks to a central dispatch script that can dispatch to various tools in depot lazily. This script can instead be generated ad-hoc by Nix (pretty fast if we can make assumptions like `git` and `nix-build` existing on user's machines already) and added to $PATH. The function introduced in this commit implements the logic for that. The structure of the script is based on the existing `//bin/__dispatch`. This does not yet switch depot's envrc to use this new method of installing dependencies lazily.

# Using this, a Nix shell environment in some repository can contain

# evaluation, and expects both `git` and `nix-build` to exist in the
