Documenting fetchTree is an exercise in frustration because of the sheer amount of stringly typed everything in it. I do not know which fields exist without reading the entirety of libfetchers. However, we can write something slightly perfunctory but at least perhaps somewhat helpful documentation-wise.

| `builtins.fetchTree` is no longer visible in `builtins` when flakes are disabled |

Fixes | jade |
builtins.fetchTree is the foundation of flake inputs and flake lock files, but is not fully specified in behaviour, which leads to regressions, behaviour differences with CppNix, and other unfun times.
It's gated behind the flakes experimental feature, but prior to now, would throw an uncatchable error at runtime when used without the flakes feature enabled.
Now it's like other builtins which are experimental feature gated, where it is not visible without the relevant feature enabled.
This fixes a bug in using Eelco Dolstra's version of flake-compat on Lix (and a divergence with CppNix): https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat/issues/66
