Description
Related to #1440 - it's probably good for the fields on PersistValue to be strict. This would simplify the NFData instance and reduce the need for extra passes over lists.

Research direction
Start by locating the PersistValue definition and its NFData instance, then read the context in related issue #1440. Confirm which fields should be strict and identify the list traversals or extra passes affected. Done means the fields are strict and the NFData implementation is simplified without changing PersistValue behavior.
