refactor(tvix/eval): use im::Vector for NixList representation

This is a persistent, structurally sharing data structure which is
more efficient in some of our use-cases. I have verified the
efficiency improvement using `hyperfine` repeatedly over expressions
on nixpkgs.

Lists are not the most performance-critical structure in Nix (that
would be attribute sets), but we can already see a small (~5-10%)
improvement.

Note that there are a handful of cases where we still go via `Vec`
that need to be fixed, most notable for `builtins.sort` which can not
currently be implemented directly using `im::Vector` because of a
restrictive type bound.
