fix(tvix/eval): Propagate catchables in NixAttrs::construct r/7492

Correctly propagate the case where the *key* of an attrset is a
Value::Catchable (eg { "${builtins.throw "c"}" = "b"; }) in
`NixAttrs::construct`, by converting the return type to
`Result<Result<Self, CatchableErrorKind>, ErrorKind>` (ugh!!) and
correctly handling that everywhere (including an `expect` in the
Deserialize impl for NixAttrs, since afaict this is impossible to hit
when deserializing from stuff like JSON).
