This has quite a lot of fall out. But the majority of it is just type or
UDL substitution, where the changes just fall through to other function
calls.
By changing property key storage to UTF-16, the main affected areas are:
* NativeFunction names must now be UTF-16
* Bytecode identifiers must now be UTF-16
* Module/binding names must now be UTF-16
This reverts commit c14173f651. We
should only annotate the minimum number of symbols that external
consumers actually use, so I am starting from scratch to do that
- Avoids unnecessary conversions between StringOrSymbol and PropertyKey
on the hot path of property access.
- Simplifies the code by removing StringOrSymbol and using PropertyKey
directly. There was no reason to have a separate StringOrSymbol type
representing the same data as PropertyKey, just with the index key
stored as a string.
PropertyKey has been updated to use a tagged pointer instead of a
Variant, so it still occupies 8 bytes, same as StringOrSymbol.

Resulting in a massive rename across almost everywhere! Alongside the
namespace change, we now have the following names:
* JS::NonnullGCPtr -> GC::Ref
* JS::GCPtr -> GC::Ptr
* JS::HeapFunction -> GC::Function
* JS::CellImpl -> GC::Cell
* JS::Handle -> GC::Root
Before, we had about these occurrence counts:
COPY: 13 without, 33 with
MOVE: 12 without, 28 with
Clearly, 'with' was the preferred way. However, this introduced double-semicolons
all over the place, and caused some warnings to trigger.
This patch *forces* the usage of a semi-colon when calling the macro,
by removing the semi-colon within the macro. (And thus also gets rid
of the double-semicolon.)
This commit adds the following classes: SymbolObject, SymbolConstructor,
SymbolPrototype, and Symbol. This commit does not introduce any
new functionality to the Object class, so they cannot be used as
property keys in objects.
