Florian Klink 56ba7a72d8 docs(tvix/eval): builtins.toXML is done
Our docs say it's still todo, but that's wrong, it landed in cl/7835
and cl/7962.

Nix builtins
============
Nix has a lot of built-in functions, some of which are accessible in
the global scope, and some of which are only accessible through the
global `builtins` attribute set.
This document is an attempt to track all of these builtins, but
without documenting their functionality.
See also https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/expressions/builtins.html
The `impl` column indicates implementation status in tvix:
- implemented: "" (empty cell)
- not yet implemented, but not blocked: `todo`
- not yet implemented, but blocked by other prerequisites:
- `store`: awaiting eval<->store api(s)
- `context`: awaiting support for string contexts
