Rather than storing the derivation outputs as `drvPath!outputName` internally, store them as `drvHashModulo!outputName` (or `outputHash!outputName` for fixed-output derivations). This makes the storage slightly more opaque, but enables an earlier cutoff in cases where a fixed-output dependency changes (but keeps the same output hash) − same as what we already do for input-addressed derivations.
