Closes #987 The patch adds a flag `--no-instantiate` which only performs evaluation without instantiating any derivations. Hence, GC root creation is also skipped. To achieve that, Lix is also put in read-only mode and all operations that require reading a derivation (e.g. constituents or listing input derivations) are disabled fallback values are set. This is a port of an upstream PR[1]. Given the divergence of the codebases (different restructurings on both ends, no more CA derivations) I decided to redo large portions from scratch instead of cherry-picking the patches. Hence, the authorship. Additionally the clean up of casts down to a local store are removed or guarded behind an if, as done in the upstream PR.
