By doing that we consistently use Identifier node for identifiers and
also enable mechanism that registers identifiers in a corresponding
ScopePusher for catch parameters, which is necessary for work in the
upcoming changes.
The special empty value (that we use for array holes, Optional<Value>
when empty and a few other other placeholder/sentinel tasks) still
exists, but you now create one via JS::js_special_empty_value() and
check for it with Value::is_special_empty_value().
The main idea here is to make it very unlikely to accidentally create an
unexpected special empty value.
Basically convert o["foo"]=x into o.foo=x when emitting bytecode.
These are effectively the same thing, and the latter format opts
into using an inline cache for the property lookups.

Instead of returning internal generator results as ordinary JS::Objects
with properties, we now use GeneratorResult and CompletionCell which
both inherit from Cell directly and allow efficient access to state.
1.59x speedup on JetStream3/lazy-collections.js :^)
This avoids emitting TDZ checks for multiple bindings declared and
referenced within one variable declaration, i.e:
var foo = 0, bar = foo;
In the above case, we'd emit an unnecessary TDZ check for the second
reference to `foo`.
