Problem:
- `static` variables consume memory and sometimes are less
optimizable.
- `static const` variables can be `constexpr`, usually.
- `static` function-local variables require an initialization check
every time the function is run.
Solution:
- If a global `static` variable is only used in a single function then
move it into the function and make it non-`static` and `constexpr`.
- Make all global `static` variables `constexpr` instead of `const`.
- Change function-local `static const[expr]` variables to be just
`constexpr`.

We should be able to get the 'typeof' string for any value directly, so
this is now a standalone Value::typeof() method instead of being part of
UnaryExpression::execute().
Almost a year after first working on this, it's finally done: an
implementation of Promises for LibJS! :^)
The core functionality is working and closely following the spec [1].
I mostly took the pseudo code and transformed it into C++ - if you read
and understand it, you will know how the spec implements Promises; and
if you read the spec first, the code will look very familiar.
Implemented functions are:
- Promise() constructor
- Promise.prototype.then()
- Promise.prototype.catch()
- Promise.prototype.finally()
- Promise.resolve()
- Promise.reject()
For the tests I added a new function to test-js's global object,
runQueuedPromiseJobs(), which calls vm.run_queued_promise_jobs().
By design, queued jobs normally only run after the script was fully
executed, making it improssible to test handlers in individual test()
calls by default [2].
Subsequent commits include integrations into LibWeb and js(1) -
pretty-printing, running queued promise jobs when necessary.
This has an unusual amount of dbgln() statements, all hidden behind the
PROMISE_DEBUG flag - I'm leaving them in for now as they've been very
useful while debugging this, things can get quite complex with so many
asynchronously executed functions.
I've not extensively explored use of these APIs for promise-based
functionality in LibWeb (fetch(), Notification.requestPermission()
etc.), but we'll get there in due time.

This commit replaces the usage of String::starts_with with
Utf8View::starts_with, which first decodes the utf8 encoded
string, and as such can take things like overlong encoded
sequences into account (which could otherwise cause the prefix
check to be inconsistent with the following code points check).
Just like to_size_t() - which was already removed in f369229 - this is
non-standard, use to_length() instead. One remaining use was removed,
and I'm glad it's gone. :^)
We now store 32-bit integers as 32-bit integers directly which avoids
having to convert them from doubles when they're only used as 32-bit
integers anyway. :^)
This patch feels a bit incomplete and there's a lot of opportunities
to take advantage of this information. We'll have to find and exploit
them eventually.
(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
