Description of changes

This commit factors out the pattern-list pretty printer added to check-meta.nix in #222852 so it can be used elsewhere.

It also disables (by default) multiline output and filters informationless entries like parsed={} before printing.

Sample output:

$ NIXPKGS_ALLOW_BROKEN=1 nix-instantiate . -A pkgsStatic.systemd
