feat(tvix/eval): implement optional runtime tracing r/4533

This adds a `disassembler` feature to the crate configuration that
traces the operations executed and the state of the stack at runtime.

This can be enabled by compiling with `--feature disassembler`.

This will also gain a more sensible layout of code slices eventually.
