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
the next commits.

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

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.
