fix(gnovm): Resolve RefValues before using as Objects (#2454)

Closes #2449.

I believe the bug was introduced by #2255. Previously, if the type of
`tv.V` in `GetFirstObject` was a `PointerValue`, it the `Base` would
have been nil in the scenario producing this bug. Now that `Base` can
never be nil for a `PointerValue`, the nil base check has been removed.
We do however need to account for a new scenario where the `Base` is a
`RefValue`, a type that does implement the `Object` interface. In the
case where the base is a `RefValue`, first resolve it by calling
`store.GetObject`.
