fix(3p/nix/repl): Scan NixRepl for GC roots r/1250
Backport of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/b244e65cdbc2949af70bd539bf8f3bd2fa952d07

Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3175

------

Original fault description by puck:

I suspect I found the issue: The Nix Command structs are stored on the
heap (using ref<T>, a wrapper around std::shared_ptr<T>), which means
that any pointers that the NixRepl struct contains are eligible to be
reaped by the GC. This includes, but is not limited to, the Env
pointer, which seems to cause most of the random segfaults, or random
other values in the environment, which seems to be what @arianvp
experienced too.
