feat(tvix/eval): Implement builtins.fromJSON r/5135

Using `serde_json` for parsing JSON here, plus an `impl FromJSON for
Value`. The latter is primarily to stay "dependency light" for now -
likely going with an actual serde `Deserialize` impl in the future is
going to be way better as it allows saving significantly on intermediary
allocations.
