Checks that two packages produce the exact same build instructions.
This can be used to make sure that a certain difference of configuration,
such as the presence of an overlay does not cause a cache miss.
When the derivations are equal, the return value is an empty file.
Otherwise, the build log explains the difference via `nix-diff`.
Example:
testEqualDerivation
"The hello package must stay the same when enabling checks."
hello
(hello.overrideAttrs(o: { doCheck = true; }))
