This could occur when the disassembler is enabled and tracing the
runtime while a thunk is being evaluated, as it would not be possible
for the *tracer* to borrow the thunk at this exact moment.
However, we know that if the borrowing fails here we are dealing with
a not-fully evaluated thunk (blackhole), which should just print the
internal representation.

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
list of known possible optimisations.

The casting methods of `Value` are pretty verbose, and actually
incorrect before this commit as they did not account for inner thunk
values.
To address this, we first attempt to make them correct by introducing
a standard macro to generate them and traverse the inner thunk(s) if
necessary.
This is likely to be a performance hit as it will now involve more
cloning of values. We can do multiple things to alleviate this, but
should do some measurements first.

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

a thunk.
In these cases, the implementation of `Display` and `PartialEq` must

Note that there are a handful of other cases like these which we need

It is a little tricky to write integration tests for these directly,

While compiling local bindings, we now know the stack slot of the
value currently being compiled.
This will let us determine whether an upvalue can be captured directly
or whether it needs to wait for a synchronisation point at which the
upvalue can be instantiated.
This machinery lets us avoid unnecessary work at runtime when
instantiating closures that actually do not need complicated recursive
resolution.
This change itself introduces no new functionality, but since the
threading is noisy it is split out as a separate change.

This reduces some string cloning and removes unnecessary logic. It
also theoretically makes the *current* index available during locals
compilation, which can be used to optimise some recursion cases.

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.

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.

The set of things that can leak out of `builtins` into the global
scope is statically known (it is what Nix 2.3 leaks there,
essentially).
This is a mild change over the previous mechanism, where instead at
the point where the `builtins` set is constructed we "lift" the
globals out of there (if they exist).
This way users will still eventually be able to add additional
builtins, HOWEVER they will not be able to leak them into the global
scope.
Note that upstream Nix technically leaks _all_ builtins into the
global scope using the `__*` prefix, but we are trying to avoid this
in Tvix if it is not required in nixpkgs.

Adds a new builtins module in which builtins can be constructed. The
functions in this module should return a correctly structured value to
be passed to the compiler's `globals`.
This is wired up all the way to the compiler with an example
`toString` builtin, available as a global. Note that this does not yet
actually behave like the real toString, which has some differences
from `Display`.

Previously, the tokens that could poison a scope (`true`, `false`,
`null`) had individual fields in the scope to track whether or not
they were poisoned.
This commit sets up new machinery that instead tracks scope poisoning
dynamically using a HashMap, and which makes it possible to introduce
additional tokens to the top-level ("global") scope that are directly
resolved by the compiler by passing a map of runtime values to be
used.
With this solution, the compiler now contains all machinery required
for wiring up builtins resolution.
The set of builtins to be exposed at runtime must, however, be
constructed *outside* of the compiler and passed in. Everything is
prepared for this, but it is not yet wired up (so the only existing
builtins are the ones we already had before).
Note that this technically opens up an optimisation potential when
compiling selection operations, where the attribute set being selected
from is `builtins`. The compiler could directly resolve the builtins
and place the right values on the stack.

Nix functions always have a single argument and we do not yet make
efforts to optimise this in Tvix for known multi-argument functions
being directly applied.
For this reason, the call instruction is fairly simple and just calls
out to construct a new call frame.
Note that the logic for terminating the run loop has moved to the top
of the dispatch; this is because the loop run needs to be skipped if
the call frame for the current lambda has just been dropped.

There are a handful of smaller features missing for full feature

When encountering a `with` expression, the value from which the
bindings should be resolved is pushed onto the stack and tracked by
the compiler in the "with stack", as well as with a "phantom value"
which indicates that the stack contains an additional slot which is
not available to users via identifiers.
Runtime handling of this is not yet implemented.
