Work on Values instead of Exprs
This prevents some duplicate evaluation in nix-env and
nix-instantiate.

Also, when traversing ~/.nix-defexpr, only read regular files with the
extension .nix.  Previously it was reading files like
.../channels/binary-caches/<name>.  The only reason this didn't cause
problems is pure luck (namely, <name> shadows an actual Nix
expression, the binary-caches files happen to be syntactically valid
Nix expressions, and we iterate over the directory contents in just
the right order).
