test(tvix/eval): genericClosure (pointer) comparison support r/6309

genericClosure has very limited support for pointer equality: It relies
on comparison (not equality!) in C++ Nix, so as soon as C++ Nix supports
comparing lists (langVersion >= 6) we can rely on pointer equality for
key.

Since Tvix uses equality, not comparison for the insert, our behavior is
currently different, as documented by the notyetpassing tests.
