fix(tvix/eval): implement cppnix JSON-serialisation semantics r/5979
This drops the usage of serde::Serialize, as the trait can not be used
to implement the correct semantics (function colouring!).

Instead, a manual JSON serialisation function is written which
correctly handles toString, outPath and other similar weirdnesses.

Unexpectedly, the eval-okay-tojson test from the C++ Nix test suite
now passes, too.

This fixes an issue where serialising data structures containing
derivations to JSON would fail.
