feat(tvix/eval): nonrecursive deep_force() r/7175

This commit implements deep_force() nonrecursively, by maintaining
an explicit stack rather than using the call stack for recursion.

As an added bonus, we don't need to pass around the SharedThunkSet
anymore, and can in fact completely eliminate SharedThunkSet.
