fix(tvix/eval): make tvix display values like nix-instantiate(1) r/6308
In order for the test suite we have currently to be comparable to C++
Nix, we need to display values in the same way. This was largely the
case except in some weird cases.

* <CODE> for thunks and <CYCLE> for repeated thunks (?) are already in
  use. <CODE> formatting is tested by the oracle test suite already.

* Instead of lambda, we need to use <LAMBDA>

* <<primop>> and <<primop-app>> (a formatting C++ Nix uses nowhere)
  now are <PRIMOP> and <PRIMOP-APP>.

We'll probably want to have a fancier display of values (in a separate
trait) down the line. This could be used for interactive usage, e.g. the
REPL or a potential debugger.

There is a peculiarity with C++ Nix 2.3 formatting primops: import is
considered a <<PRIMOP-APP>>, since it is internally implemented by means
of scopedImport. This implementation detail no longer leaks in C++ Nix
2.13 nor in Tvix.

<CYCLE> display is untested at the moment, since we exhibit a
discrepancy to C++ Nix 2.3. Our current detection is more similar to C++
Nix 2.13—luckily it is also the more consistent of the two. See also
b/245.
