The attributes previously stored in TreeInfo (narHash, revCount,
lastModified) are now stored in Input. This makes it less arbitrary
what attributes are stored where.
As a result, the lock file format has changed. An entry like
"info": {
"lastModified": 1585405475,
"narHash": "sha256-bESW0n4KgPmZ0luxvwJ+UyATrC6iIltVCsGdLiphVeE="
},
"locked": {
"owner": "NixOS",
"repo": "nixpkgs",
"rev": "b88ff468e9850410070d4e0ccd68c7011f15b2be",
"type": "github"
},
is now stored as
"locked": {
"owner": "NixOS",
"repo": "nixpkgs",
"rev": "b88ff468e9850410070d4e0ccd68c7011f15b2be",
"type": "github",
"lastModified": 1585405475,
"narHash": "sha256-bESW0n4KgPmZ0luxvwJ+UyATrC6iIltVCsGdLiphVeE="
},
The 'Input' class is now a dumb set of attributes. All the fetcher
implementations subclass InputScheme, not Input. This simplifies the
API.
Also, fix substitution of flake inputs. This was broken since lazy
flake fetching started using fetchTree internally.

This fetchers copies a plain directory (i.e. not a Git/Mercurial
repository) to the store (or does nothing if the path is already a
store path).
One use case is to pin the 'nixpkgs' flake used to build the current
NixOS system, and prevent it from being garbage-collected, via a
system registry entry like this:
{
"from": {
"id": "nixpkgs",
"type": "indirect"
},
"to": {
"type": "path",
"path": "/nix/store/rralhl3wj4rdwzjn16g7d93mibvlr521-source",
"lastModified": 1585388205,
"rev": "b0c285807d6a9f1b7562ec417c24fa1a30ecc31a"
},
"exact": true
}
Note the fake "lastModified" and "rev" attributes that ensure that the
flake gives the same evaluation results as the corresponding
Git/GitHub inputs.
