feat(tvix/eval): introduce mechanism for defining builtins r/4588

Adds a new builtins module in which builtins can be constructed. The
functions in this module should return a correctly structured value to
be passed to the compiler's `globals`.

This is wired up all the way to the compiler with an example
`toString` builtin, available as a global. Note that this does not yet
actually behave like the real toString, which has some differences
from `Display`.
