Raito Bezarius b28723c5b9 libexpr/eval: do not confuse path and string with contexts in messages
In messages printed by the evaluator, we use showType(.) to say things
like "expected X, got Y" where X, Y can be string, string with context,
etc.

After changes in the Lix data model (pointer tagging and friends), paths
got squished inside a internal string type.

We missed updating `showType` to take this fact into account which
caused an unfortunate:

`error: expected a string but found a string with context:
/nix/store/wjf8rdpp63rhyasbzc7zfms1agf7pwyd-source`

while using a path on `builtins.getContext`

A test is added.
