5e6e1fd482 LibJS: Start implementing object shapes
This patch adds JS::Shape, which implements a transition tree for our
Object class. Object property keys, prototypes and attributes are now
stored in a Shape, and each Object has a Shape.

When adding a property to an Object, we make a transition from the old
Shape to a new Shape. If we've made the same exact transition in the
past (with another Object), we reuse the same transition and both
objects may now share a Shape.

This will become the foundation of inline caching and other engine
optimizations in the future. :^)
