feat(tvix/eval): nonrecursive nix_cmp_ordering(), fixes b/339

This commit rewrites Value::nix_cmp_ordering() into an equivalent
nonrecursive form.  Except for calls to Thunk::force(), the new form
no longer uses generators, and is async only because of the fact
that it calls Thunk::force().

I originally believed that this commit would make evaluation faster.
In fact it is slightly slower.  I believe this is due to the added
vec![] allocation.  I am investigating.
