toJSON: report error position for fancier output

Browse source 
Given flake:

```nix
{ description = "nix json error provenance";
  inputs = {};
  outputs = { self }: {
    jsonFunction = _: "function";
    json = builtins.toJSON (_: "function");
  };
}

```
- Before:

```console
❯ nix eval --json .#jsonFunction
error: cannot convert a function to JSON
```

- After:

```console
❯ nix eval --json .#jsonFunction
error: cannot convert a function to JSON

            3|   outputs = { self }: {
            4|     jsonFunction = _: "function";
             |     ^
            5|     json = builtins.toJSON (_: "function");
