When resolving a select expression (`attrs.name` or `attrs.name or

notably the case with `builtins`) we can backtrack and replace that
attribute set directly with the compiled value.
For something like `builtins.length`, this will directly emit an

This fixes a very complicated bug (b/246). Evaluation
progresses *much* further after this, leading to several less
complicated bugs likely being uncovered by this
What was the problem?
=====================
Previously, when evaluating a thunk, we had a code path that looked
like this:
match *thunk {
ThunkRepr::Evaluated(Value::Thunk(ref inner_thunk)) => {
let inner_repr = inner_thunk.0.borrow().clone();
drop(thunk);
self.0.replace(inner_repr);
}
/* ... */
}
This code path created a copy of the inner `ThunkRepr` of a nested
thunk, and moved that copy into the `ThunkRepr` of the parent.
The effect of this was that the original `ThunkRepr` (unforced!) lived
on in the original thunk, without the memoization of the subsequent
forcing applying to it.
This had the result that Tvix would repeatedly evaluate these thunks
without ever memoizing them, if they occured repeatedly as shared
inner thunks. Most notably, this would *always* occur when
builtins.import was used.
What's the solution?
====================
I have completely rewritten `Thunk::force_trampoline_self` to make all
flows that can occur in it explicit. I have also removed the outer
loop inside of that function, and resorted to more use of trampolining
instead.
The function is now well-commented and it should be possible to read
it from top-to-bottom and get a general sense of what is going on,
though the trampolining itself (which is implemented in the VM) needs
to be at least partially understood for this.
What's the new problem(s)?
==========================
One new (known) problem is that we have to construct `Error` instances
in all error types here, but we do not have spans available in some
thunk-related situations. Due to b/238 we cannot ask the VM for an
arbitrary span from the callsite leading to the force. This means that
there are now code paths where, under certain conditions, causing an
evaluation error during thunk forcing will panic.
To fix this we will need to investigate and fix b/238, and/or add a
span tracking mechanism to thunks themselves.
What other impacts does this have?
==================================
With this commit, eval of nixpkgs mostly succeeds (things like stdenv
evaluate to the same hashes for us and C++ Nix, meaning we now
construct identical derivations without eval breaking).
Due to this we progress much further into nixpkgs, which lets us
uncover more additional bugs. For example, after this commit we can
quickly see that cl/7949 introduces some kind of behavioural issue and
should not be merged as-is (this was not apparent before).
Additionally, tvix-eval is now seemingly very fast. When doing
performance analysis of a nixpkgs eval, we now mostly see the code
path for shelling out to C++ Nix to add things to the store in there.
We still need those code paths, so we can not (yet) do a performance
analysis beyond that.

Apparently our naive implementation of float formatting, which simply
used {:.5}, and trimmed trailing "0" strings not sufficient.
It wrongly trimmed numbers with zeroes but no decimal point, like
`10000` got trimmed to `1`.
Nix uses `std::to_string` on the double, which according to
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/to_string
is equivalent to `std::sprintf(buf, "%f", value)`.
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/c/fprintf mentions this is treated
like this:
> Precision specifies the exact number of digits to appear after
> the decimal point character. The default precision is 6. In the
> alternative implementation decimal point character is written even if
> no digits follow it. For infinity and not-a-number conversion style
> see notes.
This doesn't seem to be the case though, and Nix uses scientific
notation in some cases.
There's a whole bunch of strategies to determine which is a more compact
notation, and which notation should be used for a given number.
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/24556 provides some pointers
into various rabbit holes for those interested.
This gist seems to be that currently a different formatting is not
exposed in rust directly, at least not for public consumption.
There is the
[lexical-core](https://github.com/Alexhuszagh/rust-lexical) crate
though, which provides a way to format floats with various strategies
and formats.
Change our implementation of `TotalDisplay` for the `Value::Float` case
to use that. We still need to do some post-processing, because Nix
always adds the sign in scientific notation (and there's no way to
configure lexical-core to do that), and lexical-core in some cases keeps
the trailing zeros.
Even with all that in place, there as a difference in `eval-okay-
fromjson.nix` (from tvix-tests), which I couldn't get to work. I updated
the fixture to a less problematic number.
With this, the testsuite passes again, and does for the upcoming CL
introducing builtins.fromTOML, and enabling the nix testsuite bits for
it, too.

The codebase contains a lot of complexity and odd roundabout
handling for shadowing globals. I'm pretty sure none of this is
necessary, and all of it disappears if you simply make the globals
part of the ordinary identifier resolution chain, with their own
scope up above the root scope. Then the ordinary shadowing routines
do the right thing, and no special cases or new terminology are
required.
This commit does that.
Note by tazjin: This commit was originally abandoned when Adam decided
not to take away reviewer bandwidth for this at the time (eval was

significant refactoring of globals initialisation this came up again,
and it seems we can easily cover the use-cases of the poison tracking

With this implementation, the thunk at `builtins.builtins` actually
resolves to the "real" `builtins` (verified with a new test).
This is kind of ugly, and it's something users shouldn't use, but
bubbling a warning out of this is difficult at the moment due to a
