This was missing step 3 from the spec:
3. If Type(O) is not Object, return O.
Also use RequireObjectCoercible() for a better error message and make
the rest of the code a bit easier to read and more similar to the spec
text.
String objects are a bit special since the indexed properties are
overridden by the contents of the underlying PrimitiveString.
getOwnPropertyDescriptor() was not taking this into account, and would
instead return undefined when asked about an indexed property in a
String object.
This was failing to take two things into account:
- When constructing a PropertyName from a value, it won't automatically
convert to Type::Number for something like string "0", even though
that's how things work internally, since indexed properties are stored
separately. This will be improved in a future patch, it's a footgun
and should happen automatically.
- Those can't be looked up on the shape, we have to go through the
indexed properties instead.
Additionally it now operates on the shape or indexed properties directly
as define_property() was overly strict and would throw if a property was
already non-configurable.
Fixes#6469.
