Eelco Dolstra e5662ba652 Add a flag to start the REPL on evaluation errors
This allows interactively inspecting the state of the evaluator at the
point of failure.

Example:

  $ nix eval path:///home/eelco/Dev/nix/flake2#modules.hello-closure._final --start-repl-on-eval-errors
  error: --- TypeError -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nix
  at: (20:53) in file: /nix/store/4264z41dxfdiqr95svmpnxxxwhfplhy0-source/flake.nix

      20|           _final = builtins.foldl' (xs: mod: xs // (mod._module.config { config = _final; })) _defaults _allModules;
        |                                                     ^
      21|         };
