* Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string
concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def). toString() and coerceToString() have been merged. Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the formalisation of the meaning of a path). So "foo " + ./bla evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo /path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g., `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be replaced by the output path of `bla'.)
