Allow flake inputs to be fetched at build time

This only works for non-flake inputs. Example:

  inputs.repo1 = {
    type = "github";
    owner = "DeterminateSystems";
    repo = "blabla";
    flake = false;
    buildTime = true;
  };

`call-flake.nix` maps this to a builtin:fetch-tree derivation. Thus
you can pass it to other derivations, and it will be fetched at build
time rather than eval time. (It will still be fetched at eval time to
create/update locks.) Importing from such an input triggers IFD.
