C API: Fix nix_c_primop_wrapper for strict initializers

Browse source 
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10555 added a check requiring
that output parameters always have an uninitialized Value as argument.

Unfortunately the output parameter of the primop callback received
a thunk instead.

See the comment for implementation considerations.
