We can now tell the difference between an own property access and a
subsequent (automatic) prototype chain access.
This will be used to implement caching of prototype chain accesses.
With this change, we now have ~1200 CellAllocators across both LibJS and
LibWeb in a normal WebContent instance.
This gives us a minimum heap size of 4.7 MiB in the scenario where we
only have one cell allocated per type. Of course, in practice there will
be many more of each type, so the effective overhead is quite a bit
smaller than that in practice.
I left a few types unconverted to this mechanism because I got tired of
doing this. :^)
This patch makes it possible for JS::Object::internal_set() to populate
a CacheablePropertyMetadata, and uses this to implement a basic
monomorphic cache for the most common form of property write access.
This function must return true if the object may intercept and customize
access to indexed properties (properties where the property name is a
non-negative integer.)
This will be used to implement fast path optimizations for array-like
accesses in subsequent commits.
This function now takes an optional out parameter for callers who would
like to what kind of property we ended up getting.
This will be used to implement inline caching for property lookups.
Also, to prepare for adding more forms of caching, the out parameter
is a struct CacheablePropertyMetadata rather than just an offset. :^)
