feat(tvix/eval): add error contexts to annotate error kinds r/5706

This makes it possible for users to add additional context to an
error, which will then be rendered as an additional secondary span in
the formatted error output.

We should strive to do this basically anywhere errors are raised that
can occur multiple times, *especially* during type casts. This was
triggered by me debugging a type cast error attached to a fairly
large-ish span (a builtin invocation).
