The FIXME here describes an old constraint on JS Interpreters which no
longer holds. It hails from a time when we had the global object and
JS realm attached to the document.
Instead of using Core::EventLoop and Core::Timer directly, LibWeb now
goes through a Web::Platform abstraction layer instead.
This will allow us to plug in Qt's event loop (and QTimer) over in
Ladybird, to avoid having to deal with multiple event loops.
This is a monster patch that turns all EventTargets into GC-allocated
PlatformObjects. Their C++ wrapper classes are removed, and the LibJS
garbage collector is now responsible for their lifetimes.
There's a fair amount of hacks and band-aids in this patch, and we'll
have a lot of cleanup to do after this.
This removes the requirement of having a global object that actually
inherits from JS::GlobalObject, which is now a perfectly valid scenario.
With the upcoming removal of wrapper objects in LibWeb, the HTML::Window
object will inherit from DOM::EventTarget, which means it cannot also
inherit from JS::GlobalObject.
The environment settings object is effectively the context a piece of
script is running under, for example, it contains the origin,
responsible document, realm, global object and event loop for the
current context. This effectively replaces ScriptExecutionContext, but
it cannot be removed in this commit as EventTarget still depends on it.

Since we can't simply give HTML::EventLoop control of the whole program,
we have to integrate with Core::EventLoop.
We do this by having a single-shot 0ms Core::Timer that we start when
a task is added to the queue, and restart after processing the queue and
there are still tasks in the queue.
This patch attaches a HTML::EventLoop to the main thread JS::VM used
for JavaScript bindings in the web engine.
The goal here is to model the various task scheduling mechanisms of the
HTML specification.
