Clean up leftover references to the removed C++ pipeline:
- Remove stale forward declarations from Forward.h (ASTNode,
Parser, Program, FunctionNode, ScopeNode, etc.)
- Delete unused FunctionParsingInsights.h
- Remove dead get_builtin(MemberExpression const&) declaration
from Builtins.h
- Update stale comments referencing ASTCodegen.cpp and
generate_bytecode()
For StringPrototype functions that defer to RegExpPrototype builtins,
we can skip the generic call stuff (eliding the execution context etc)
and just call the builtin directly.
1.03x speedup on Octane/regexp.js
This makes the instanceof operator signficantly faster by avoiding a
generic function call to @@hasInstance unless it has been overridden.
1.15x speed-up on Octane/earley-boyer.js
Before this change each built-in iterator object has a boolean
`m_next_method_was_redefined`. If user code later changed the iterator’s
prototype (e.g. `Object.setPrototypeOf()`), we still believed the
built-in fast-path was safe and skipped the user supplied override,
producing wrong results.
With this change
`BuiltinIterator::as_builtin_iterator_if_next_is_not_redefined()` looks
up the current `next` property and verifies that it is still the
built-in native function.
