builtins.fetchgit: Support specifying commit hashes
This adds an argument "rev" specififying the Git commit hash. The
existing argument "rev" is renamed to "ref". The default value for
"ref" is "master". When specifying a hash, it's necessary to specify a
ref since we're not cloning the entire repository but only fetching a
specific ref.

Example usage:

  builtins.fetchgit {
    url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git;
    ref = "release-16.03";
    rev = "c1c0484041ab6f9c6858c8ade80a8477c9ae4442";
  };

Eelco Dolstra d8bf0d4859 Support Git repos in the Nix path
E.g.

  $ nix-build -I nixpkgs=git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs '<nixpkgs>' -A hello

This is not extremely useful yet because you can't specify a
branch/revision.
