refactor(3p/nix/libexpr): Back Nix lists with std::vector r/1377
This change does away with the previous special-casing of lists of
certain element sizes, and the use of raw C-style arrays.

Lists are now backed by a std::vector of nix::Value*, which uses the
traceable GC allocator.

This change is unfortunately quite noisy because the accessor methods
were updated/removed accordingly, so all callsites of Nix-related
lists have changed.

For some operations in primops.cc where keeping the previous code
structure would have been more difficult with a "proper" vector, the
implementation has been replaced with std::vector methods. For
example, list concatenation now uses appropriate range inserts.

Anecdotally the performance of this is about equal, to even slightly
better, than the previous implementation.

All language tests pass and the depot paths I've used for testing
still evaluate.
