Vincent Ambo 4b9178fa2a feat(tvix/eval): insert import into the builtins itself 
Adding `import` to builtins causes causes a bootstrap cycle because
the `import` builtin needs to be initialised with the set of globals
before being inserted into the globals, which also must contain
itself.

To break out of the cycle this hack wraps the builtins passed to the
compiler in an `Rc` (probably sensible anyways, as they will end up
getting cloned a bunch), containing a RefCell which gives us mutable
access to the builtins.

This opens up a potentially dangerous footgun in which we could mutate
the builtins at runtime leading to different compiler invocations
seeing different builtins, so it'd be nice to have some kind of
"finalised" status for them or some such, but I'm not sure how to
represent that atm.

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.
