fix(tvix/eval): thunk string interpolation r/4859

If we have multiple string parts, we need to thunk assembling the
string. If we have a single literal, it is strict (like all literals),
but a single interpolation part may compile to a thunk, depending on how
the expression inside is compiled – we can avoid forcing to early here
compared to the previous behavior.

Note that this CL retains the bug that `"${x}"` is erroneously
translated to `x`, implying e.g. `"${12}" == 12`.

The use of `parts.len()` is unproblematic, since normalized_parts()
builds a `Vec` instead of returning an iterator.
