refactor(tvix/store): use bytes for node names and symlink targets r/6436

Some paths might use names that are not valid UTF-8. We should be able
to represent them.

We don't actually need to touch the PathInfo structures, as they need to
represent StorePaths, which come with their own harder restrictions,
which can't encode non-UTF8 data.

While this doesn't change any of the wire format of the gRPC messages,
it does however change the interface of tvix_eval::EvalIO - its
read_dir() method does now return a list of Vec<u8>, rather than
SmolStr. Maybe this should be OsString instead?
