refactor(tvix/eval): remove Value::Json and related functionality r/8890

Currently Value::Json is used in combination with VMRequest::ToJson to
recursively convert tvix Value to serde_json::Value. This functionality
is used in builtins.toJSON as well as derivation __structuredAttrs.

Both Value::Json and VMRequest::ToJson were removed in this commit.

Related functionality in vm.rs is also removed: vm.rs does not know
about JSON anymore.

Recursively converting to serde_json now happens without going through
the VM.

Thrown errors that are part of the value of toJSON are now directly
propagated as ErrorKind, were-as previously there was a split between
CatchableErrorKind and ErrorKind, where eventually CatchableErrorKind
would be converted to ErrorKind::Catchable.
