feat(tvix/eval): Initial resolution of `<...>` paths r/5087
This commit implements (lazy) resolution of `<...>` paths via either the
NIX_PATH environment variable, or the -I command-line flag - both
handled via EvalOptions. As a result, EvalOptions can no longer derive
Copy, meaning we have to clone it at each line of the repl - this is
probably not a huge deal as repl performance is not exactly an inner
loop and we're not cloning very much.

Internally, this works by creating a thunk which pushes a constant
containing the string inside the brackets to the stack, then a new
opcode to resolve that path via the `NixPath`. To get that opcode to
work, we now have to pass in the NixPath when constructing the VM.

This (intentionally) leaves out proper implementation of path resolution
via `findFile` (cppnix just calls whatever identifier called findFile is
in scope!!!) as that's widely considered a bit of a misfeature, but if
we do decide to implement that down the road it likely wouldn't be more
than a few extra ops within the thunk introduced here.
