bundlerEnv: ensure dependencies always included
Suppose I have a Gemfile like this:

    source "https://rubygems.org"
    gem "actioncable"
    gem "websocket-driver", group: :test

The gemset.nix generated by Bundix 2.4.1 will set ActionCable's groups
to [ "default" ], and websocket-driver's to [ "test" ]. This means that
the generated bundlerEnv wouldn't include websocket-driver unless the
test group was included, even though it's required by the default group.

This is arguably a bug in Bundix (websocket-driver's groups should
probably be [ "default" "test" ] or just [ "default" ]), but there's no
reason bundlerEnv should omit dependencies even given such an input --
it won't necessarily come from Bundix, and it would be good for
bundlerEnv to do the right thing.

To fix this, filterGemset is now a recursive function, that adds
dependencies of gems in the group to the filtered gemset until it
stabilises on the gems that match the required groups, and all of their
recursive dependencies.

# f = self: { foo = "foo"; bar = "bar"; foobar = self.foo + self.bar; }
#
# Nix evaluates this recursion until all references to `self` have been
# resolved. At that point, the final result is returned and `f x = x` holds:
#
# nix-repl> fix f

# Modify the contents of an explicitly recursive attribute set in a way that
# honors `self`-references. This is accomplished with a function
#
# g = self: super: { foo = super.foo + " + "; }
#
# that has access to the unmodified input (`super`) as well as the final
# non-recursive representation of the attribute set (`self`). `extends`
# differs from the native `//` operator insofar as that it's applied *before*
# references to `self` are resolved:
#
# nix-repl> fix (extends g f)
# { bar = "bar"; foo = "foo + "; foobar = "foo + bar"; }
#
# The name of the function is inspired by object-oriented inheritance, i.e.
# think of it as an infix operator `g extends f` that mimics the syntax from
# Java. It may seem counter-intuitive to have the "base class" as the second
# argument, but it's nice this way if several uses of `extends` are cascaded.
#
# To get a better understanding how `extends` turns a function with a fix
# point (the package set we start with) into a new function with a different fix
# point (the desired packages set) lets just see, how `extends g f`
# unfolds with `g` and `f` defined above:
#
# extends g f = self: let super = f self; in super // g self super;
# = self: let super = { foo = "foo"; bar = "bar"; foobar = self.foo + self.bar; }; in super // g self super
# = self: { foo = "foo"; bar = "bar"; foobar = self.foo + self.bar; } // g self { foo = "foo"; bar = "bar"; foobar = self.foo + self.bar; }
# = self: { foo = "foo"; bar = "bar"; foobar = self.foo + self.bar; } // { foo = "foo" + " + "; }
# = self: { foo = "foo + "; bar = "bar"; foobar = self.foo + self.bar; }
