When dealing with a formal argument in a function argument pattern that
has a default expression, there are two different things that can happen
at runtime: Either we select its value from the passed attribute
successfully or we need to use the default expression. Both of these may
be thunks and both of these may need finalisers. However, in the former
case this is taken care of elsewhere, the value will always be finalised
already if necessary. In the latter case we may need to finalise the
thunk resulting from the default expression. However, the thunk
corresponding to the expression may never end up in the local's stack
slot. Since finalisation goes by stack slot (and not constants), we need
to prevent a case where we don't fall back to the default expression,
but finalise anyways.
Previously, we worked around this by making `OpFinalise` ignore
non-thunks. Since finalisation of already evaluated thunks still
crashed, the faulty compilation of function pattern arguments could
still cause a crash.
As a new approach, we reinstate the old behavior of `OpFinalise` to
crash whenever encountering something that is either not a thunk or
doesn't need finalisation. This can also help catching (similar)
miscompilations in the future. To then prevent the crash, we need to
track whether we have fallen back or not at runtime. This is done using
an additional phantom on the stack that holds a new `FinaliseRequest`
value. When it comes to finalisation we check this value and
conditionally execute `OpFinalise` based on its value.
Resolves b/261 and b/265 (partially).

Unary operator applications are thunked which can easily be observed by
nix-instantiate --eval -E '[ (!true) (-1) ]'
Unfortunately, there are few simple expressions where this makes a
difference in the end result. Thus it only cropped up when using nixpkgs
for cross compilation: Here we would compile the expression
!(stdenv.cc.isGNU or false)
to assemble python3Minimal's passthru attribute set (at least this seems
to be the most likely explanation from the backtraces I've studied).
This means that an unthunked
<stdenv.cc.isGNU or false>
OpForce
OpInvert
would be performed in order to assemble this attribute set, causing
stdenv.cc to be evaluated too early, causing an infinite recursion.
Resolves b/273.
It seems that having a test suite that doesn't use --strict and relies
on thunks rendered as <CODE> would be beneficial for catching such
issues. I've not been able to find a test case with --strict that
demonstrates the problem fixed in this CL.

We already evaluate this the same as Nix does, so worth adding it into
CI.

This introduces a function that can be instantiated with an attribute
path to instantiate, as well as the expected path (normally interpolated
with the nix evaluator).
Check both pkgs.stdenv.drvPath and pkgs.stdenv.outPath to match.

The tvix-eval project is independent from any *uses* of the evaluator,
such as the tvix-repl.
This functionality has been split out into a separate "tvix-cli"
crate. Note that this doesn't have to mean that this CLI crate is the
"final" CLI crate for tvix, the point of this is not "getting the CLI
structure right" but rather "getting the evaluator structure right".
This reshuffling is part of restructuring the way that functionality
like store communication is injected into language evaluation.
Note that at this commit the new CLI crate is not at feature-parity.
