Add "nix show-derivation"

This debug command prints a store derivation in JSON format. For
example:

  $ nix show-derivation nixpkgs.hello
  {
    "/nix/store/ayjwpwwiyy04nh9z71rsdgd3q7bra7ch-hello-2.10.drv": {
      "outputs": {

        }
      },

        ],
        "/nix/store/vgdx7fdc7d4iirmnwj2py1nrvr5qwzj7-hello-2.10.tar.gz.drv": [
          "out"
        ],
        "/nix/store/x3kkd0vsqfflbvwf1055l9mr39bg0ms0-stdenv.drv": [
          "out"
        ]
      },
      "platform": "x86_64-linux",
      "builder": "/nix/store/qp5fw57d38bd1n07ss4zxh88zg67c3vg-bash-4.4-p12/bin/bash",
      "args": [
        "-e",
        "/nix/store/9krlzvny65gdc8s7kpb6lkx8cd02c25b-default-builder.sh"
      ],
      "env": {
        "buildInputs": "",
        "builder": "/nix/store/qp5fw57d38bd1n07ss4zxh88zg67c3vg-bash-4.4-p12/bin/bash",
        "configureFlags": "",

        "name": "hello-2.10",
        "nativeBuildInputs": "",
        "out": "/nix/store/w5w4v29ql0qwqhczkdxs94ix2lh7ibgs-hello-2.10",
        "propagatedBuildInputs": "",
        "propagatedNativeBuildInputs": "",
        "src": "/nix/store/3x7dwzq014bblazs7kq20p9hyzz0qh8g-hello-2.10.tar.gz",
        "stdenv": "/nix/store/6zngq1rdh0ans9qyckqimqibgnlvlfrm-stdenv",
        "system": "x86_64-linux"
      }
    }
  }

This removes the need for pp-aterm.
