feat(tvix/eval): deduplicate overlap between Closure and Thunk

This commit deduplicates the Thunk-like functionality from Closure
and unifies it with Thunk.

Specifically, we now have one and only one way of breaking reference
cycles in the Value-graph: Thunk.  No other variant contains a
RefCell.  This should make it easier to reason about the behavior of
the VM.  InnerClosure and UpvaluesCarrier are no longer necessary.

This refactoring allowed an improvement in code generation:
`Rc<RefCell<>>`s are now created only for closures which do not have
self-references or deferred upvalues, instead of for all closures.
OpClosure has been split into two separate opcodes:

- OpClosure creates non-recursive closures with no deferred
  upvalues.  The VM will not create an `Rc<RefCell<>>` when executing
  this instruction.

- OpThunkClosure is used for closures with self-references or
  deferred upvalues.  The VM will create a Thunk when executing this
  opcode, but the Thunk will start out already in the
  `ThunkRepr::Evaluated` state, rather than in the
  `ThunkRepr::Suspeneded` state.

To avoid confusion, OpThunk has been renamed OpThunkSuspended.

Thanks to @sterni for suggesting that all this could be done without
adding an additional variant to ThunkRepr.  This does however mean
that there will be mutating accesses to `ThunkRepr::Evaluated`,
which was not previously the case.  The field `is_finalised:bool`
has been added to `Closure` to ensure that these mutating accesses
are performed only on finalised Closures.  Both the check and the
field are present only if `#[cfg(debug_assertions)]`.
