feat(tvix/repl): Allow binding variables at the top-level

Browse source 
Allow binding variables at the REPL's toplevel in the same way the Nix
REPL does, using the syntax <ident> = <expr>. This fully, strictly
evaluates the value and sets it in the repl's "env", which gets passed
in at the toplevel when evaluating expressions.

The laziness behavior differs from Nix's, but I think this is good:

    ❯ nix repl
    Welcome to Nix version 2.3.18. Type :? for help.

    nix-repl> x = builtins.trace "x" 1

    nix-repl> x
    trace: x
    1

    nix-repl> x
    1

vs tvix:

    tvix-repl> x = builtins.trace "x" 1
    trace: "x" :: string
    tvix-repl> x
    => 1 :: int
    tvix-repl> x
    => 1 :: int
