`unsafeDiscardReferences`
Adds a new boolean structured attribute `outputChecks.<output>.unsafeDiscardReferences` which disables scanning an output for runtime references. __structuredAttrs = true; outputChecks.out.unsafeDiscardReferences = true; This is useful when creating filesystem images containing their own embedded Nix store: they are self-contained blobs of data with no runtime dependencies. Setting this attribute requires the experimental feature `discard-references` to be enabled.

If this **experimental** attribute is set to true, then the derivation
outputs will be stored in a content-addressed location rather than the
traditional input-addressed one.

Setting this attribute also requires setting `outputHashMode` and `outputHashAlgo` like for *fixed-output derivations* (see above).
