This patch ups the max number of heap allocations between each GC
from 10'000 to 100'000. This is still relatively aggressive but already
does a good job of cutting down on time spent in GC.
This patch adds a `-z` option to js and test-js. When run in this mode,
garbage cells are never actually destroyed. We instead keep them around
in a special zombie state.
This allows us to validate that zombies don't get marked in future GC
scans (since there were not supposed to be any more references!) :^)
Cells get notified when they become a zombie (via did_become_zombie())
and this is used by WeakContainer cells to deregister themselves from
the heap.
This should fix the flaky tests of test-js.
It also fixes the tests when running with the -g flag since the values
will not be garbage collected too soon.
- Replace the misleading abuse of the m_transitions_enabled flag for the
fast path without lookup with a new m_initialized boolean that's set
either by Heap::allocate() after calling the Object's initialize(), or
by the GlobalObject in its special initialize_global_object(). This
makes it work regardless of the shape's uniqueness.
- When we're adding a new property past the initialization phase,
there's no need to do a second metadata lookup to retrieve the storage
value offset - it's known to always be the shape's property count
minus one. Also, instead of doing manual storage resizing and
assignment via indexing, just use Vector::append().
- When we didn't add a new property but are overwriting an existing one,
the property count and therefore storage value offset doesn't change,
so we don't have to retrieve it either.
As a result, Object::set_shape() is now solely responsible for updating
the m_shape pointer and is not resizing storage anymore, so I moved it
into the header.
This patch adds a BlockAllocator to the GC heap where we now cache up to
64 HeapBlock-sized mmap's that get recycled when allocating HeapBlocks.
This improves test-js runtime performance by ~35%, pretty cool! :^)

This commit makes the user-facing StdLibExtras templates and utilities
arguably more nice-looking by removing the need to reach into the
wrapper structs generated by them to get the value/type needed.
The C++ standard library had to invent `_v` and `_t` variants (likely
because of backwards compat), but we don't need to cater to any codebase
except our own, so might as well have good things for free. :^)
