refactor(tvix/eval): avoid cloning in NixAttrs::update if possible r/4616
Refactors the update function to take the attribute sets by value
instead.

To facilitate this, we use an equivalent of the currently unstable
`Rc::clone_or_unwrap` in the VM when encountering attribute sets, so
that in cases where the only references to the attrs being updated are
the ones on the stack those clones are avoided completely.

This does make update() a little bit more tricky internally, as some
optimised branches can directly return the moved value, and others
need to destructure with ownership. For this reason there are now two
different match statements handling the different ownership cases.
