feat(tvix/eval): nonrecursive coerce_to_string() r/7176

After this commit, the only non-builtins uses of generators are:

  - coerce_to_string() uses generators::request_enter_lambda()
  - Thunk::force() uses generators::request_enter_lambda()

That's it!  Once those two are taken care of, GenCo can become an
implementation detail of `builtins::BuiltinGen`.  No more crazy
nonlocal flow control within the interpreter: if you've got a GenCo
floating around in your code it's because you're writing a builtin,
which isn't part of the core interpreter.  The interpreter won't
need GenCos to talk to itself anymore.

Technically generators::request_path_import() is also used by
coerce_to_string(), but that's just because the io_handle happens to
be part of the VM.  There's no recursion-depth issue there, so the
call doesn't need to go through the generator mechanism
(request_path_import() doesn't call back to the interpreter!)
