feat(tvix/eval): compile creation of closure objects

Fully implements the instructions for compiling closure
objects (without runtime handling yet).

Closure (and thunk) objects are created at runtime by capturing all
known upvalues. To represent this, the instructions for creating them
need to have a variable number of arguments. Due to that, this commit
introduces new variants in OpCode that are not actually operations,
but data.

If the VM is implemented correctly, the instruction pointer should
never point at these. Due to this, the VM will panic if it sees a data
operand during an execution run.
