Add a "filter" primop
Evaluation of a NixOS configuration spends quite a lot of time in the "filter" function in Nixpkgs. As implemented in Nixpkgs, this is a O(n^2) operation, so it's a good candidate for providing a more efficient (i.e. primop) implementation. Using it gives a ~10% speed increase and a significant reduction in the number of evaluations.
