Griffin Smith 273ba73754 feat(tvix/eval): Initial resolution of <...> paths
This commit implements (lazy) resolution of `<...>` paths via either the
NIX_PATH environment variable, or the -I command-line flag - both
handled via EvalOptions. As a result, EvalOptions can no longer derive
Copy, meaning we have to clone it at each line of the repl - this is
probably not a huge deal as repl performance is not exactly an inner
loop and we're not cloning very much.

Internally, this works by creating a thunk which pushes a constant
containing the string inside the brackets to the stack, then a new
opcode to resolve that path via the `NixPath`. To get that opcode to
work, we now have to pass in the NixPath when constructing the VM.

This (intentionally) leaves out proper implementation of path resolution
via `findFile` (cppnix just calls whatever identifier called findFile is
in scope!!!) as that's widely considered a bit of a misfeature, but if
we do decide to implement that down the road it likely wouldn't be more
than a few extra ops within the thunk introduced here.

License structure

All code implemented for Tvix is licensed under the GPL-3.0, with the exception of the protocol buffer definitions used for communication between services which are available under a more permissive license (MIT).

The idea behind this structure is that any direct usage of our code (e.g. linking to it, embedding the evaluator, etc.) will fall under the terms of the GPL3, but users are free to implement their own components speaking these protocols under the terms of the MIT license.
