feat(tvix/eval): deduplicate overlap between Closure and Thunk r/5159
This commit deduplicates the Thunk-like functionality from Closure and unifies it with Thunk. Specifically, we now have one and only one way of breaking reference cycles in the Value-graph: Thunk. No other variant contains a RefCell. This should make it easier to reason about the behavior of the VM. InnerClosure and UpvaluesCarrier are no longer necessary. This refactoring allowed an improvement in code generation: `Rc<RefCell<>>`s are now created only for closures which do not have self-references or deferred upvalues, instead of for all closures. OpClosure has been split into two separate opcodes: - OpClosure creates non-recursive closures with no deferred upvalues. The VM will not create an `Rc<RefCell<>>` when executing this instruction. - OpThunkClosure is used for closures with self-references or deferred upvalues. The VM will create a Thunk when executing this opcode, but the Thunk will start out already in the `ThunkRepr::Evaluated` state, rather than in the `ThunkRepr::Suspeneded` state. To avoid confusion, OpThunk has been renamed OpThunkSuspended. Thanks to @sterni for suggesting that all this could be done without adding an additional variant to ThunkRepr. This does however mean that there will be mutating accesses to `ThunkRepr::Evaluated`, which was not previously the case. The field `is_finalised:bool` has been added to `Closure` to ensure that these mutating accesses are performed only on finalised Closures. Both the check and the field are present only if `#[cfg(debug_assertions)]`.
