docs(tvix/eval): StackIdx, LocalIdx UpvalueIdx r/5201

This adds a comment noting that StackIdx is an offset relative to
the base of the current CallFrame, whereas UpvalueIdx is an absolute
index into the upvalues array.

It also removes the confusing mention of StackIdx in the descriptive
comment for LocalIdx.  They index into totally different structures;
one exists at runtime and the other exists at compile time.
