[Nix-dev] Separate repository for autogenerated lists of urls and hashes

[Daniel Hlynskyi]

Now, when I've done some package upgrades and downgrades, I really like the
idea of a separate srcs repo. I'd like to contribute 3 ideas.

1. Use some of monitor.nixos.org logic for srcs updating
2. Autoextract src information from nixpkgs to srcs
3. Add meta.updateSrcsScript or meta.listAllSrcs in cases where
monitor.nixos.org heuristics are not smart enough
