The experimental `nix eval` command already supports a `--raw` flag.
This commit implements the same flag for the stable nix-instantiate command.
Until now instructions and scripts that didn't want to rely on experimental
features had to use workarounds such as:
nix-instantiate --eval <something> | tr -d \"
(which also undesirably also removes double quotation marks within the string), or
nix-instantiate --eval <something> | jq -j
(which undesirably depends on another package).

|
The nix-instantiate --eval command now supports a --raw flag. When used,
the result must be coercible to a string (as with ${...}) and is printed
verbatim, without quotes or escaping.
