refactor(tvix/eval): remove `todo!()` calls in compiler r/4823

It is impossible for tvixbolt to recover from panics, so the user
experience of typing an expression using an unsupported feature was
that it would get sad and stop responding to input.

Instead, raise a normal value-level error of a new variant and
continue where possible.
