This function is necessary for all builtins that expect some form of
path as an argument. It is merely a wrapper around coerce_to_string that
can shortcut if we already have a path. The absolute path check is done
in the same way as in C++ Nix for compatibility, although it should
probably be revised in the long term (think about Windows, for example).
Since coercing to a path is not an operation possible in the language
directly, this function can live in the builtins module as the only
place it is required.

all possible coercions, but we've already prepared the weaker coercion

This very closely follows the way it's done for warnings, but errors
have a lot more information available in some cases which we do not
surface yet.
Note also that due to requiring the `CodeMap`, this is not yet called
from eval.rs as the way that is threaded through needs to be
refactored, so only the method for reporting these errors as strings
is implemented so far.
Next steps for this will be to add a generic diagnostics module that

and which will also give us a good point in the future to switch to a
fancier diagnostics crate.

Previously, "calling" (setting up the VM run loop for executing a call
frame) and "running" (running this loop to completion) were separate
operations.
This was basically an attempt to avoid nesting `VM::run` invocations.
However, doing things this way introduced some tricky bugs for exiting
out of the call frames of thunks vs. builtins & closures.
For now, we unify the two operations and always return the value to
the caller directly. For now this makes calls a little less effective,
but it gives us a chance to nail down some other strange behaviours
and then re-optimise this afterwards.
To make sure we tackle this again further down I've added it to the

Previously error spans were optional because the information about
code spans was not available at runtime. Now that this information has
been added, the error type will always carry a span.
This change is very invasive all throughout the codebase. This is due
to the fact that many functions that are called *by* the VM expected
to return `EvalResult`, but this no longer works as the span
information is not available to those functions - only to the VM
itself.
To work around this the majority of these functions have been changed
to return `Result<T, ErrorKind>` instead and an accompanying macro in
the VM constructs the "real" error.
Note that this implementatino currently has a bug where errors
occuring within thunks will yield the location at which the thunk was
forced, not the location at which the error occured within the code.
This will be fixed soon, but the commit is large enough as is.

If a thunk is already evaluated, there are cases where due to the
memoisation implementation something might observe a value wrapped in
a thunk.
In these cases, the implementation of `Display` and `PartialEq` must
delegate to the underlying value.
Note that there are a handful of other cases like these which we need
to cover.
It is a little tricky to write integration tests for these directly,
especially as some of the open-upvalue optimisations coming down the
pipe will reduce the number of observable thunks.
One test that covers a part of this behaviour is currently
disabled (needs some more machinery), but it's being brought back in

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

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.

that in cases where the only references to the attrs being updated are

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
