force-inline a few much-used functions

Browse source 
these functions are called a whole lot, and they're all comparatively small.
always inlining them gives ~0.7% performance boost on eval.

before:

  Benchmark 1: nix flakes search --no-eval-cache --offline ../nixpkgs hello
    Time (mean ± σ):      6.935 s ±  0.052 s    [User: 5.852 s, System: 0.853 s]
    Range (min … max):    6.808 s …  7.026 s    20 runs

  Benchmark 2: nix flakes eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix
    Time (mean ± σ):     329.8 ms ±   2.7 ms    [User: 299.0 ms, System: 30.8 ms]
    Range (min … max):   326.6 ms … 336.5 ms    20 runs

  Benchmark 3: nix flakes eval --raw --impure --file expr.nix
    Time (mean ± σ):      2.655 s ±  0.038 s    [User: 2.364 s, System: 0.220 s]
    Range (min … max):    2.574 s …  2.737 s    20 runs

  Benchmark 2: nix flakes eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix

    Range (min … max):   322.2 ms … 332.8 ms    20 runs

  Benchmark 3: nix flakes eval --raw --impure --file expr.nix
    Time (mean ± σ):      2.636 s ±  0.024 s    [User: 2.352 s, System: 0.226 s]
