Use __toString when coercing sets to strings.

For example, "${{ foo = "bar"; __toString = x: x.foo; }}" evaluates
to "bar".

With this, we can delay calling functions like mkDerivation,
buildPythonPackage, etc. until we actually need a derivation, enabling
overrides and other modifications to happen by simple attribute set
update.
