LibJS: Add a finalization pass to the garbage collector

Doing things in the destructor of a GC-allocated object isn't always
safe, in case it involves accessing other GC-allocated objects.
If they were already swept by GC, we'd be poking into freed memory.

This patch adds a separate finalization pass where GC calls finalize()
on every unmarked cell that's about to be deleted.

It's safe to access other GC objects in finalize(), even if they're
also unmarked.
