refactor(tvix/eval): Implement value comparison with a method r/5193

Rather than implementing all of the interesting semantics of value
comparison with a macro bound to the VM, implement the bulk of the logic
with a method on Value itself that returns an Ordering, and then use the
macro to implement the comparison against that Ordering. This has no
functional change, but paves the way to implementing lexicographic
comparison of list values, which is supported in the latest version of
upstream nix.
