feat(tvix/glue): drive builds on IO r/7551
That's one possible abstraction to drive builds.
Whenever IO into a store path is requested, we look up the root node,
and in case we don't have it in PathInfoService, but KnownPaths gives us
a Derivation for that output path, trigger a build and await the result.

This recursively might trigger builds for parent paths if they haven't
been built yet.

Another option would be to simply expose a PathInfoService interface for
a builder too, and loop all building into IO via PathInfoService
composition - but let's start with something.

Note tvix-cli doesn't have a configurable BuildService yet, it's plugged
to the DummyBuildService, so whenever it needs to do a build, it'll fail,
but that's how it can be provoked:

```
(builtins.readFile (import <nixpkgs> {}).hello.outPath + "/bin/hello")
[…]
error[E029]: I/O error: /nix/store/cg8a576pz2yfc1wbhxm1zy4x7lrk8pix-hello-2.12.1: builds are not supported with DummyBuildService
 --> [code]:1:2
  |
1 | (builtins.readFile (import <nixpkgs> {}).hello.outPath + "/bin/hello")
  |  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```

Note how this fails, while pure output path calculation
(`(import <nixpkgs> {}).hello.outPath + "/bin/hello")`) still succeeds.
