feat(tvix/eval): add builtins to builtins r/5674
This is a somewhat terrifying hack that enables us to support
`builtins.builtins`, by running a "fake compilation" inside of a
suspended native thunk that can resolve the weak pointer to the
globals.

With this implementation, the thunk at `builtins.builtins` actually
resolves to the "real" `builtins` (verified with a new test).

This is kind of ugly, and it's something users shouldn't use, but
bubbling a warning out of this is difficult at the moment due to a
little bit of trickery with how the spans in suspended native thunks
work (they don't) (see b/237, b/238)
