eldritch horrors 80654b84b6 libexpr: de-ptr-ize Value references
thunk values are shareable, and we can represent invalid/uninitialized
values with a special bit pattern that makes no sense otherwise. there
is no need to keep allocating values on the heap, instead we can treat
values like reference-counted smart pointers to heap objects, which in
turn lets us save a lot of allocations and, ultimately, gc heap space.

compared to our baseline (main of 2025-09-27) we save 15%+ memory on a
system rebuild and 17% on nix search. eval time regresses by ~3% for a
system rebuild, while nix search is 7% faster. further optimization is
probably possible (but for now this will just have to be good enough).
