Subject: Add fetchgit builtin

The function builtins.fetchgit fetches Git repositories at evaluation
time, similar to builtins.fetchTarball. (Perhaps the name should be
changed, being confusing with respect to Nixpkgs's fetchgit function,
with works at build time.)

Example:

  (import (builtins.fetchgit git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs) {}).hello

or

  (import (builtins.fetchgit {
    url = git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels;
    rev = "nixos-16.03";
  }) {}).hello

Note that the result does not contain a .git directory.
