common-eval-args: raise warning if `--arg` isn't a valid Nix identifier
See https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/496.
The core idea is to be able to do e.g.
nix-instantiate -A some-nonfree-thing --arg config.allowUnfree true
which is currently not possible since `config.allowUnfree` is
interpreted as attribute name with a dot in it.
In order to change that (probably), Jade suggested to find out if there
are any folks out there relying on this behavior.
For such a use-case, it may still be possible to accept strings, i.e.
`--arg '"config.allowUnfree"'.
