pennae 09b245690a bulk-allocate Value instances in the evaluator 
calling GC_malloc for each value is significantly more expensive than
allocating a bunch of values at once with GC_malloc_many. "a bunch" here
is a GC block size, ie 16KiB or less.

this gives a 1.5% performance boost when evaluating our nixos system.

tested with

nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system'
