feat(tvix/eval): Implement builtins.deepSeq r/5175

This is done via a new `deepForce` function on Value. Since values can
be cyclical (for example, see the test-case), we need to do some extra
work to avoid RefCell borrow errors if we ever hit a graph cycle:

While deep-forcing values, we keep a set of thunks that we have
already seen and avoid doing any work on the same thunk twice. The set
is encapsulated in a separate type to stop potentially invalid
pointers from leaking out.

Finally, since deep_force is conceptually similar to
`VM::force_for_output` (but more suited to usage in eval since it
doesn't clone the values) this removes the latter, replacing it with
the former.
