A small utility that builds the structure expected by the special `apps` and `defaultApp` prefixes.
### `flattenTree -> attrs -> attrs`
Nix flakes insists on having a flat attribute set of derivations in
various places like the `packages` and `checks` attributes.
This function traverses a tree of attributes (by respecting
recurseIntoAttrs) and only returns their derivations, with a flattened
key-space.
Eg:
```nix
flattenTree { hello = pkgs.hello; gitAndTools = pkgs.gitAndTools }
```
Returns:
```nix
{
hello = «derivation»;
gitAndTools_git = «derivation»;
gitAndTools_hub = «derivation»;
# ...
}
```
## Example
Here is how it looks like in practice:
