Only substitute wanted outputs of a derivation
If a derivation has multiple outputs, then we only want to download
those outputs that are actuallty needed.  So if we do "nix-build -A
openssl.man", then only the "man" output should be downloaded.
Likewise if another package depends on ${openssl.man}.

The tricky part is that different derivations can depend on different
outputs of a given derivation, so we may need to restart the
corresponding derivation goal if that happens.
