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.

This works because at the end of the finally chunk, a
ContinuePendingUnwind is generated which copies the saved return value
register into the return value register. In cases where
ContinuePendingUnwind is not generated such as when there is a break
statement in the finally block, the fonction will return undefined which
is consistent with V8 and SpiderMonkey.
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
