nix-prefetch-url: Support unpacking tarballs

This allows nix-prefetch-url to prefetch the output of fetchzip and
its wrappers (like fetchFromGitHub). For example:

  $ nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/archive/0.8.tar.gz

or from a Nix expression:

  $ nix-prefetch-url -A nix-repl.src

In the latter case, --unpack can be omitted because nix-repl.src is a
fetchFromGitHub derivation and thus has "outputHashMode" set to
"recursive".
