sterni f3c27f1717 fix(tvix/eval): bring foldl' strictness in line with C++ Nix
Working on https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7158, I discovered that C++
Nix actually is strict in the accumulator, just not in the first value.
This seems due to the fact that in the C++ evaluator, function calls
don't seem to be thunked unconditionally and foldl' just elects not to
wrap it in a thunk (don't quote me on this summary, even though it seems
to line up with the code for primop_foldlStrict and testable behavior).

It doesn't seem worth it to risk breaking the odd Nix expression just to
be strict in one more value per invocation of foldl' (i.e. the initial
accumulator value `nul`), so let's match the existing C++ Nix behavior
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.
