Linus Heckemann 603b799bcb Add removeReferencesTo for removing specific refs
This allows for a less blanket approach than nuke-refs, targetting specific
references that we know we don't want rather than all references that we don't
know we want.

# The program `remove-references-to' created by this derivation replaces all
# references to the given Nix store paths in the specified files by a
# non-existent path (/nix/store/eeee...). This is useful for getting rid of
# dependencies that you know are not actually needed at runtime.
