initialisation of a captured local upvalue must be defered to a later

This adds a new data representation to the opcode for this situation,
but the equivalent runtime handling is not yet implemented. This is in
part because there is more compiler machinery needed to find the

The previous closure refactoring introduced a bug in which the same
closure object would get mutated constantly for each instance of a
closure, which is incorrect behaviour.
This commit instead introduces an explicit new Value variant for the
internal "blueprint" that the compiler generates (essentially just the
lambda) and uses this variant to construct the closure at runtime.
If the blueprint ever leaks out to a user somehow that is a critical
bug and tvix-eval will panic.
As a ~treat~ test for this, the fibonacci function is being used as it
is a self-recursive closure (i.e. different instantiations of the same
"blueprint") getting called with different values and it's good to
have it around.

This puts together the puzzle pieces for threading dynamic
upvalues (that is, upvalues resolved from the `with`-stack) all the
way through.
Reading the test case enclosed in this commit and walking through it
is recommended to understand what problem is being tackled here.
In short, because the compiler can not statically know *which*
with-scope a dynamic argument is resolved from it needs to lay the
groundwork for resolving from *all* possible scopes.
There are multiple different approaches to doing this. The approach
chosen in this commit is that if a dynamic upvalue is detected, the
compiler will emit instructions to close over this dynamic value
in *all* enclosing lambda contexts.
It uses a new instruction for this that will leave around a sentinel
value in case an identifier could not be resolved, and wire the
location of this found value (or sentinel) up through the upvalues to
the next level of nesting.
In this tradeoff, tvix potentially closes over more upvalues than are
needed (but in practice, how often do people create *really* deep
`with`-stacks? and in *this* kind of code situation? maybe we should
even warn for this!) but avoids keeping the entire attribute sets
themselves around.
Looking at the test case, each surrounding closure will close
over *all* dynamic identifiers that are referenced later on visible to
it, but only the last one for each identifier will actually end up
being used.
This also covers our bases for an additional edge-case this creates,
in which an identifier potentially resolves to a dynamic upvalue *and*
to a dynamic value within the function's own scope (again, would
anyone really do this?) by introducing a resolution instruction for
that particular case.
There is likely some potential for cleaning up this code which is
quite ugly in some parts, but as this implementation is now carefully
calibrated to work I decided it is time to commit it and clean it up
in subsequent commits.

Implements the final bit of logic remaining for wiring up closures,
which is the runtime construction of closure objects.
When encountering an OpClosure, the VM walks through the bytecode
collecting all the upvalue location operands (see commit introducing
the OpCode::Data* variants for details) and stores the runtime values
in the new closures upvalue vector.
After that, the handling of the closure itself becomes functionally
identical to that of lambdas.
With this initial implementation of closures there are several large
optimisation potentials available, the two most notable ones are:
- Distinguish the runtime representation of lambdas and closures
explicitly.
- Detect and handle multiple-arity functions directly in the compiler.
However, for both of these we should wait until we have appropriate
benchmarking infrastructure in place. This is because our test
implementations have shown that the complexity of either of these
changes is quite significant, and we do not yet know if they really
pay off.

Refactors the update function to take the attribute sets by value

To facilitate this, we use an equivalent of the currently unstable
`Rc::clone_or_unwrap` in the VM when encountering attribute sets, so
that in cases where the only references to the attrs being updated are
the ones on the stack those clones are avoided completely.
This does make update() a little bit more tricky internally, as some
optimised branches can directly return the moved value, and others
need to destructure with ownership. For this reason there are now two
different match statements handling the different ownership cases.
