Reduce the size of the `Env` struct used in the evaluator by a pointer, or 8 bytes on most modern machines.
This reduces memory usage during eval by around 2% and wall time by around 3%.

doc: add release note credits and categories for all the changes in Lix This does not add missing release notes, and it doesn't do anything about the profiles feature we would really like to have so we can have consistent credit.
