print type and value in "flake attr is not a derivation" errors
This turns errors like:
error: flake output attribute 'hydraJobs' is not a derivation or path
into errors like:
error: expected flake output attribute 'hydraJobs' to be a derivation or
path but found a set: { binaryTarball = «thunk»; build = «thunk»; etc> }
This change affects all InstallableFlake commands.
