This adds static strings to generator frames that describe the
generator in a human-readable fashion, which are then logged in
observers.
This makes runtime traces very precise, explaining exactly what is
being requested from where.

Print only the top 6 values of the stack, not the entire stack.
There's very few operations that deal with more values anyways, so the
rest are not likely to be useful.
This gets us one step closer to tracing VERY large executions without
blowing up.

This can actually blow up when tracing arbitrary execution, as some of
the data structures just get too large to run through a tabwriter.

Warning: This is probably the biggest refactor in tvix-eval history,
so far.
This replaces all instances of trampolines and recursion during
evaluation of the VM loop with generators. A generator is an
asynchronous function that can be suspended to yield a message (in our
case, vm::generators::GeneratorRequest) and receive a
response (vm::generators::GeneratorResponsee).
The `genawaiter` crate provides an interpreter for generators that can
drive their execution and lets us move control flow between the VM and
suspended generators.
To do this, massive changes have occured basically everywhere in the
code. On a high-level:
1. The VM is now organised around a frame stack. A frame is either a
call frame (execution of Tvix bytecode) or a generator frame (a
running or suspended generator).
The VM has an outer loop that pops a frame off the frame stack, and
then enters an inner loop either driving the execution of the
bytecode or the execution of a generator.
Both types of frames have several branches that can result in the
frame re-enqueuing itself, and enqueuing some other work (in the
form of a different frame) on top of itself. The VM will eventually
resume the frame when everything "above" it has been suspended.
In this way, the VM's new frame stack takes over much of the work
that was previously achieved by recursion.
2. All methods previously taking a VM have been refactored into async
functions that instead emit/receive generator messages for
communication with the VM.
Notably, this includes *all* builtins.
This has had some other effects:
- Some test have been removed or commented out, either because they
tested code that was mostly already dead (nix_eq) or because they
now require generator scaffolding which we do not have in place for
tests (yet).
- Because generator functions are technically async (though no async
IO is involved), we lose the ability to use much of the Rust
standard library e.g. in builtins. This has led to many algorithms
being unrolled into iterative versions instead of iterator
combinations, and things like sorting had to be implemented from scratch.
- Many call sites that previously saw a `Result<..., ErrorKind>`
bubble up now only see the result value, as the error handling is
encapsulated within the generator loop.
This reduces number of places inside of builtin implementations
where error context can be attached to calls that can fail.
Currently what we gain in this tradeoff is significantly more
detailed span information (which we still need to bubble up, this
commit does not change the error display).
We'll need to do some analysis later of how useful the errors turn
out to be and potentially introduce some methods for attaching
context to a generator frame again.
This change is very difficult to do in stages, as it is very much an
"all or nothing" change that affects huge parts of the codebase. I've
tried to isolate changes that can be isolated into the parent CLs of
this one, but this change is still quite difficult to wrap one's mind
and I'm available to discuss it and explain things to any reviewer.
Fixes: b/238, b/237, b/251 and potentially others.

When compiling a lambda, take the name of the outer slot (if
available) and store it as the name on the lambda.
These names are then shown in the observer, and nowhere else (so far).
It is of course common for these things to thread through many
different context levels (e.g. `f = a: b: c: ...`), in this setup only
the outermost closure or thunk gains the name, but it's better than
nothing.

There are actually two different types of observers, the ones that
observe the compiler (and emitted chunks from different kinds of
expressions), and the ones that trace runtime execution.
Use of the NoOpObserver is unchanged, it simply implements both
traits.

If the last operation within a chunk is a function call, the call can
be executed in the same call frame without increasing the depth of the
call stack.
To enable this, a new OpTailCall instruction (similar to OpCall) is
introduced, but not yet emitted by the compiler.

This type implements an observer that is called whenever the compiler
emits a chunk (after the toplevel, thunks, or lambdas) and prints the
output of the disassembler to its internal writer.
This replaces half of the uses of the `disassembler` feature, which
has been removed from the Cargo configuration.
Note that at this commit runtime tracing is not yet implemented as an
observer.
