Motivation for this change

The original change in #55372 was supposed to fix the case where a store
path which is a file should be placed into buildEnv which broke with a
fairly misleading Perl error.

Unfortunately this introduced a regression, findFiles can have targets
that are files if the file isn't a store path. Rather than adding more
obscure checks with probably further regressions, I figured that it's
better to replicate the behavior of lib.isStorePath and explicitly
check if the store path is a file and break in this case only.

This should also fix recent staging issues.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
