When pretty-printing is enabled, previously an unforced thunk would trigger
indentation, even when it subsequently does not evaluate to a nested structure.
The resulting output looked inconsistent, and furthermore pretty-printing was
not idempotent (since pretty-printing the same value again, which is now fully
evaluated, will not trigger indentation).
When strict evaluation is enabled, force the item before inspecting its type,
so that it is properly known whether it contains a nested structure.
Furthermore, there is no need to cause indentation for unforced thunks, since
the very next operation will be printing them as `«thunk»`.
This is mostly a port of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11100 , but we only
force the item when it's going to be forced anyway due to strict
pretty-printing, and a new test was written since the REPL testing framework in
Lix is different.

A previously unforced thunk in an attribute set does not lead to indentation when it won't evaluate to a nested structure:
|
|
nix-repl> :p let x = 1 + 2; in [ { inherit x; } { inherit x; } ]
|
|
[
|
|
{ x = 3; }
|
|
{ x = 3; }
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
Same for a list:
|
|
nix-repl> :p let x = 1 + 2; in [ [ x ] [ x ] ]
|
|
[
|
|
[ 3 ]
|
|
[ 3 ]
|

]
