In the multithreaded evaluator, it's possible for multiple threads to wait on the same thunk. If evaluation of the thunk results in an exception, the waiting threads shouldn't try to re-force the thunk. Instead, they should rethrow the same exception, without duplicating any work. Therefore, there is now a new value type `tFailed` that stores an std::exception_ptr. If evaluation of a thunk/app results in an exception, `forceValue()` overwrites the value with a `tFailed`. If `forceValue()` encounters a `tFailed`, it rethrows the exception. So you normally never need to check for failed values (since forcing them causes a rethrow).
