nix-prefetch-url: support SRI hashes directly
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, using SRI hashes with nix-prefetch-url require an invocation such as:
nix-prefetch-url <url> --type sha256 | xargs nix hash convert --hash-algo sha256
Describe the solution you'd like It'd be far more convenient to have a flag to output SRI hashes directly, e.g.
nix-prefetch-url <url> --type sha256 --as-sri
Or alternatively, use SRI hashes by default, since they're the preferred type in nixpkgs anyway.
Describe alternatives you've considered see above
