Keep building non-dependent derivations even if one fails #794

I have no idea if this is a feasible thing to even bring up for discussion. When trying to build master, I was running into #12924. When I fixed pijul, a bunch of other unrelated stuff had to build. Nothing depends on pijul right now, so there's not a technical reason that I see that would prevent nix from building the other derivations. That way when I fix pijul, I'm ready to go, instead of waiting for qtwebkit to build, for example.
