docs(tvix/eval): update string context document r/8912
NixString doesn't contain a `HashSet<BuildReference>` anymore, there's a

 In the past, Tvix did not track string contexts in its evaluator at all, see
 the historical section for more information about that.

-keeping the exact internal structure of that data private.
