fix(tvix/eval): Replace inner NixString repr with Box<Bstr> r/7506

Storing a full BString here incurs the extra overhead of the capacity
for the inner byte-vector, which we basically never use as Nix strings
are immutable (and we don't do any mutation / sharing analysis).
Switching to a Box<BStr> cuts us from 72 bytes to 64 bytes per
string (and there are a lot of strings!)
