nix why-depends: Add option to show all edges causing a dependency
For example, without --all:

  $ nix why-depends nixpkgs.nixUnstable nixpkgs.libssh2
  /nix/store/s9n5gvj2l49b4n19nz6xl832654nf7n7-nix-1.12pre5511_c94f3d55
  └───lib/libnixstore.so: …/lib:/nix/store/w9ykqpl5v0r3vfwsgn408jqhs72cx96x-curl-7.55.0/lib…
      => /nix/store/w9ykqpl5v0r3vfwsgn408jqhs72cx96x-curl-7.55.0
      └───lib/libcurl.la: …ib -L/nix/store/4mbayl1y5hpjbjzkx8ndyhkv98kqw1wi-libssh2-1.8.0/l…
          => /nix/store/4mbayl1y5hpjbjzkx8ndyhkv98kqw1wi-libssh2-1.8.0

but with --all:

  $ nix why-depends -a nixpkgs.nixUnstable nixpkgs.libssh2
  /nix/store/s9n5gvj2l49b4n19nz6xl832654nf7n7-nix-1.12pre5511_c94f3d55

d41c5eb13f Add command "nix why-depends"
This command shows why a package has another package in its runtime
closure. For example, to see why VLC has libdrm.dev in its closure:

  $ nix why-depends nixpkgs.vlc nixpkgs.libdrm.dev
  /nix/store/g901z9pcj0n5yy5n6ykxk3qm4ina1d6z-vlc-2.2.5.1:
    lib/libvlccore.so.8.0.0: …nfig:/nix/store/405lmx6jl8lp0ad1vrr6j498chrqhz8g-libdrm-2.4.75-d…

  /nix/store/s3nm7kd8hlcg0facn2q1ff2n7wrwdi2l-mesa-noglu-17.0.7-dev:
    nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs: …-dev /nix/store/405lmx6jl8lp0ad1vrr6j498chrqhz8g-libdrm-2.4.75-d…

Thus, VLC's lib/libvlccore.so.8.0.0 as well as mesa-noglu's
nix-support/propagated-native-build-inputs cause the dependency.
