stdenv: Validate meta.outputsToInstall
If meta.outputsToInstall is set to include absent outputs, various tools break including channel updates and nix-env. grahamc@Morbo> nix-env -i -f . -A elf-header-real installing 'elf-header' error: this derivation has bad 'meta.outputsToInstall' This patch verifies each value in meta.outputsToInstall is a valid output. It validates this condition only if checkMeta is true. grahamc@Morbo> nix-build . -A elf-header-real error: Package ‘elf-header’ in /home/grahamc/projects/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/elf-header/default.nix:36 has invalid meta.outputsToInstall, refusing to evaluate. The package elf-header has set meta.outputsToInstall to: bin however elf-header only has the outputs: out and is missing the following ouputs: - bin (use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information) Note, now the nix-env experience is decidedly worse for users who have checkMeta set to true: grahamc@Morbo> nix-env -i -f . -A elf-header-real; echo $? 0 though since this is already an issue for unfree, broken, unsupported, and insecure validity problems I'm not sure we should do something different here.
