refactor(tvix/eval): Don't double-box Path values r/7461

PathBuf internally contains a heap pointer (an OsString), so we were in
effect double-boxing here. Removing the extra layer by making
Tvix::Value represented by a Box<Path> rather than a Box<PathBuf> saves
us an indirection, while still avoiding the extra memory overhead of the
capacity which was the reason we were boxing PathBuf in the first place.
