LibJS: Fast non-local variable access :^)

Browse source 
This patch introduces the "environment coordinate" concept, which
encodes the distance from a variable access to the binding it ends up
resolving to.

EnvironmentCoordinate has two fields:

    - hops:  The number of hops up the lexical environment chain we have
             to make before getting to the resolved binding.

    - index: The index of the resolved binding within its declarative
             environment record.

Whenever a variable lookup resolves somewhere inside a declarative
environment, we now cache the coordinates and reuse them in subsequent
lookups. This is achieved via a coordinate cache in JS::Identifier.

Note that non-strict direct eval() breaks this optimization and so it
will not be performed if the resolved environment has been permanently
screwed by eval().

This makes variable access *significantly* faster. :^)
