feat(tvix/eval): chain error spans for thunk errors r/5064

Adds secondary spans for errors that occur deeply nested within a
thunk.

This is pretty raw right now, there's technically nothing stopping one
of these error chains from being a hundred thunks deep into code,
producing unmanageable error output. We should trim these down
according to some heuristics (e.g. when crossing file boundaries, o r
just - for starters - beginning and end).
