Only libexpr depends on the garbage collector, specifically only
instantiations of EvalState actually require the GC to be initialised.
Rather than always starting it for the whole program, even if it is
not needed, this change moves the GC initialisation into libexpr,
guarded by absl::call_once.
This should make it possible to run the nix daemon without the garbage
collector interfering, granted that things are correcty separated and
the daemon does not actually invoke the evaluator.
Based on my investigation so far, the daemon logic itself does not
require libexpr to be present at all - so I think it is safe - but the
current monobinary might have some tricks up its sleeve that will
cause problems for us. We can deal with those if they arise.
