1. mkDerivation: Expose pname & version in meta …

   Nix only knows of `name` attribute and considers `pname` what parseDrvName
   spits out. Unfortunately, that fails to account for many real-life packages
   that have variants or dashes followed by number in their name.
   Since many of packages in nixpkgs already have pname corresponding
   to project name, we will export it here. We will fallback to the parseDrvName
   algorithm when pname is not present.
   We handle the version similarly.
   
   This will be useful for Repology as well as any other scripted processing of
   Nixpkgs JSON dump.
