Allow passing in a top-level env, a map from name to value, to
evaluation. The intent is to support bound identifiers in the REPL just
like upstream nix does.
Getting this working involves mucking around a bit with internals - most
notably, locals now only optionally have a Span (since locals don't have
an easy span we can use) - and getting that working requires propagating
some minor hacks to places where we currently *need* a span (and which
would require too much changing now to make spans optional; my guess is
that that would essentially end up making spans optional throughout the
codebase).
Also, some extra care has to be taken to close out the scope in the case
that we do pass in an env, to avoid breaking our assumptions about the
size of the stack when we return from the toplevel

This was made unnecessary in c92d06271 (feat(tvix/eval): drop
LightSpan::Delayed, 2023-12-08) because it didn't improve benchmarks as
much as expected and has been vestigial since; this continues the
cleanup by just removing it altogether

LightSpan::Delayed was introduced in commit
bf286a54bc which claimed that "This
reduces the eval time for `builtins.length (builtins.attrNames
(import <nixpkgs> {}))` by *one third*!"
I am unable to reproduce this result. In fact, dropping the
LightSpan::Delayed variant of the enum makes eval of the same
expression slightly faster! I also tried a large evaluation
(pkgsCross...hello) and got similar results: slightly faster,
slightly less memory. See git footers.
I suspect that there was some unrelated horrific inefficiency that
has since been fixed. The avoided computation in `get_span()` is
nothing more than a binary search! If this were in fact a major
performance issue we could simply precompute the mapping from
CodeIdx to Span when the Chunk becomes immutable (i.e. at the end of
the compilation process, when compiler backtracking is no longer a
concern). Since a Span is just 64 bits this is not a space issue,
and since binary search is much simpler than compiling Nix
expressions it isn't a performance issue either.
Technically there is no longer any reason to have LightSpan since it
is now a single-variant enum. However there is no rush to remove
it, since Rust will optimize its representation into the same thing
you'd get if you replaced LightSpan by Span.

This type carries the information required for calculating a
span (i.e. the chunk and offset), instead of the span itself. The span
is then only calculated in cases where it is required (when throwing
errors).
This reduces the eval time for
`builtins.length (builtins.attrNames (import <nixpkgs> {}))` by *one
third*!
The data structure in chunks that carries span information reduces
in-memory size by trading off the speed of retrieving span
information. This is because the span information is only actually
required when throwing errors (or emitting warnings).
However, somewhere along the way we grew a dependency on carrying span
information in thunks (for correctly reporting error chains). Hitting
the code paths for span retrieval was expensive, and carrying the
spans in a different way would still be less cache-efficient. This
change is the best tradeoff I could come up with.

This logic was duplicated between the two rnix types before, but more
crucially - it is also needed for correctly displaying the text ranges
contained in syntax errors.

This is also useful for error-handling related logic, outside of just
the compiler module.
