refactor(tvix/eval): implement clearer mechanism for globals r/4592
The set of things that can leak out of `builtins` into the global
scope is statically known (it is what Nix 2.3 leaks there,
essentially).

This is a mild change over the previous mechanism, where instead at
the point where the `builtins` set is constructed we "lift" the
globals out of there (if they exist).

This way users will still eventually be able to add additional
builtins, HOWEVER they will not be able to leak them into the global
scope.

Note that upstream Nix technically leaks _all_ builtins into the
global scope using the `__*` prefix, but we are trying to avoid this
in Tvix if it is not required in nixpkgs.
