core: add Value impl for Box<T> where T: Value (#2071)

This commit adds a `Value` implementation for `Box<T> where T: Value`.
This is *primarily* intended to make `Box<dyn Error + ...>` implement
`Value`, building on the `Value` impls for `dyn Error + ...` added in
#2066, but it may be useful for other boxed values as well.
