docs(tvix): move most of //tvix/eval README up to //tvix

Browse source 
While moving the CLI out of the evaluator, we forgot to update the
README in //tvix/eval. Move this up to //tvix, so people know where
to start.

Keep the instructions on how to build only `//tvix/eval` in `//tvix/
eval/README.md`.

## Building the CLI
If you are in a full checkout of the TVL depot, you can simply run `mg build`
in the `cli` directory (or `mg build //tvix/cli` from anywhere in the repo).
The `mg` command is found in `/tools/magrathea`.

The CLI can also be built with standard Rust tooling (i.e. `cargo build`),
as long as you are in a shell with the right dependencies (provided by `mg
