refactor(tvix/eval): wrap `Builtin` type in a Box r/5832
This reduces the size of `Builtin` from 88 (!) bytes to 8, and as the
largest variant of `Value`, the size of that type from 96 to 64.

The next largest type is NixList, clocking in at 64 bytes.

This has noticeable performance impact. In an implementation without
disk I/O, evaluating nixpkgs.stdenv looks like this:

Benchmark 1: tvix -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).stdenv.drvPath'
  Time (mean ± σ):      1.151 s ±  0.003 s    [User: 1.041 s, System: 0.109 s]
  Range (min … max):    1.147 s …  1.155 s    10 runs

After this change, it looks like this:

Benchmark 1: tvix -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).stdenv.drvPath'
  Time (mean ± σ):      1.046 s ±  0.004 s    [User: 0.954 s, System: 0.092 s]
  Range (min … max):    1.041 s …  1.053 s    10 runs
