In order to resolve recursive references correctly, these two can not
be initialised the same way as a potentially large number of (nested!)
locals can be declared without initialising their depth.
This would lead to issues with detecting things like shadowed
variables, so making both bits explicit is preferable.

The previous closure refactoring introduced a bug in which the same
closure object would get mutated constantly for each instance of a
closure, which is incorrect behaviour.
This commit instead introduces an explicit new Value variant for the
internal "blueprint" that the compiler generates (essentially just the
lambda) and uses this variant to construct the closure at runtime.
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
"blueprint") getting called with different values and it's good to
have it around.

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.

With this change, encountering a dynamic upvalue will thread through
all contexts starting from the lowest context that has a non-empty
`with`-stack.
The additional upvalues are not actually used yet, so the effective
behaviour remains mostly the same. This is done in preparation for an
upcoming change, which will implement proper dynamic resolution for
complex cases of nested dynamic upvalues.
Yes, this whole upvalue + dynamic values thing is a little bit
mind-bending, but we would like to not give up being able to resolve a
large chunk of the scoping behaviour statically.

This is required to correctly clean up the `with` values.
At the moment, the attrset from which identifiers are being taken is
always pushed on the stack. This means that it must also be removed
again, otherwise in an expression like
with { a = 15; }; a
The final stack is `[ { a = 15; } 15 ]` *after the last operation*,
which means that the attrset is still on there as garbage.
This has little practical impact right now because it is always
shadowed by the fact that the actual expression value is at the right
location, but becomes relevant when accounting for upvalue captures.

Implements the final bit of logic remaining for wiring up closures,
which is the runtime construction of closure objects.
When encountering an OpClosure, the VM walks through the bytecode
collecting all the upvalue location operands (see commit introducing
the OpCode::Data* variants for details) and stores the runtime values
in the new closures upvalue vector.
After that, the handling of the closure itself becomes functionally
identical to that of lambdas.
With this initial implementation of closures there are several large
optimisation potentials available, the two most notable ones are:
- Distinguish the runtime representation of lambdas and closures
explicitly.
- Detect and handle multiple-arity functions directly in the compiler.
However, for both of these we should wait until we have appropriate
benchmarking infrastructure in place. This is because our test
implementations have shown that the complexity of either of these
changes is quite significant, and we do not yet know if they really
pay off.
