Previously, Nix strings were represented as a Box (within Value)
pointing to a tuple of an optional context, and another Box pointing to
the actual string allocation itself. This is pretty inefficient, both in
terms of memory usage (we use 48 whole bytes for a None context!) and in
terms of the extra indirection required to get at the actual data. It
was necessary, however, because with native Rust DSTs if we had
something like `struct NixString(Option<NixContext>, BStr)` we could
only pass around *fat* pointers to that value (with the length in the
pointer) and that'd make Value need to be bigger (which is a waste of
both memory and cache space, since that memory would be unused for all
other Values).
Instead, this commit implements *manual* allocation of a packed string
representation, with the length *in the allocation* as a field past the
context. This requires a big old pile of unsafe Rust, but the payoff is
clear:

change: [-15.143% -13.819% -12.500%] (p = 0.00 < 0.05)
Performance has improved.
Fortunately this change can be localized entirely within
value/string.rs, since we were abstracting things out nicely.

This reverts commit d3d41552cf1f6485f8ebc597a2128a0d15b030a5.
This was well-intentioned, but now the boxed Path values are actually
the *largest* Value enum variants, at 16 bytes (because they're
fat-pointers, with a len) instead of 8 bytes like all the other values.
Having the double reference is a reasonable price to pay (it seems; more
benchmarks may end up disagreeing) for a smaller Value repr.

NixString is *quite* large - like 80 bytes - because of the extra
capacity value for BString and because of the context. We want to keep
Value small since we're passing it around a lot, so let's box the
NixString inside Value::String to save on some memory, and make cloning
ostensibly a little cheaper

PathBuf internally contains a heap pointer (an OsString), so we were in
effect double-boxing here. Removing the extra layer by making
Tvix::Value represented by a Box<Path> rather than a Box<PathBuf> saves
us an indirection, while still avoiding the extra memory overhead of the
capacity which was the reason we were boxing PathBuf in the first place.

This shaves another 8 bytes off Value. How did that type get so big?!

Instead of going through Vec/BTreeMap for generating our internal
types, use the proptest strategies from imbl.
The one thing I couldn't figure out in the previous implementation is
where the ranges/sizes of generated collections came from. The
strategies in proptest use different types (Range, with an unknown
default value, and SizeRange with 0..100). I've opted to specify
0..100 directly, but we can probably make it configurable.

Factor out the construction of Value::Attrs (including the Rc) into a
new `attrs` constructor function, to abstract away the presence of the
Rc itself.

Generate smaller recursive values for generated Values, and run fewer
cases for the attrs proptests which are particularly egregious.

Impl Arbitrary for Value (and NixAttrs and NixList) in the same way we
did for NixString. Value currently only generates non-"internal"
values (no thunks, AttrNotFound, etc.) and can't generate
functions (builtins or closures), because those'd require full
generation of tvix bytecode, which is a bit more work than I'd like to
do now - there's a `todo!` left in the code for a place where we could
allow opting-in to internal values and functions later.
