refactor(tvix/eval): Box Value::String r/7467

NixString is *quite* large - like 80 bytes - because of the extra
capacity value for BString and because of the context. We want to keep
Value small since we're passing it around a lot, so let's box the
NixString inside Value::String to save on some memory, and make cloning
ostensibly a little cheaper
