refactor(3p/nix/libexpr): Use range insertion to merge nix::Bindings

Instead of manually iterating over the two bindings to be combined,
this adds a new static method on the Bindings class which merges two
attribute sets by calling the range insertion operator over them.

In some anecdotal tests, this can lead to a ~10% speed bump -
depending on the specific operation.
