refactor(tvix/eval): add VM::call_value helper method

This makes it possible to call a callable value (builtin or
closure/lambda) directly, without unwrapping it first. This is needed
for pretty much all higher-order functions to work correctly.

This is mostly equivalent to the previous code in coerce_to_string for
calling `__toString`, except it expects the argument(s) to already be
placed on the stack.

Note that the span for the `NotCallable` error is not currently
guaranteed to make any sense, will experiment with this.
