nix-prefetch-url: Support prefetching from a Nix expression
For example, $ nix-prefetch-url -A hello.src will prefetch the file specified by the fetchurl call in the attribute ‘hello.src’ from the Nix expression in the current directory. This differs from ‘nix-build -A hello.src’ in that it doesn't verify the hash. You can also specify a path to the Nix expression: $ nix-prefetch-url ~/Dev/nixpkgs -A hello.src List elements (typically used in ‘patches’ attributes) also work: $ nix-prefetch-url -A portmidi.patches.0
