When instantiating an object literal, we go through the list of
properties and add them one by one to the new object. However, we were
totally neglecting to cache the shape transitions incurred by this
process, even though we had allocated a PropertyLookupCache for it.
1.25x speedup on Octane/splay.js and just generally very useful.
The AddOwnProperty inline cache would incorrectly apply to frozen,
sealed, or non-extensible objects because it only checked if the
object's shape matched the cached "from_shape", not whether the object
was actually extensible.
Since Object.freeze(), Object.seal(), and Object.preventExtensions()
don't change the object's shape, a normal empty object {} and a
frozen Object.freeze({}) would share the same shape. The IC cache
populated from adding a property to the normal object would then be
incorrectly used for the frozen object, allowing property addition
to what should be a non-extensible object.
The fix adds an extensibility check before applying the AddOwnProperty
cache. Also adds comprehensive tests for dictionary shapes and
non-extensible object IC behavior.
We have so many inline caches that this kind of thing becomes profitable
on complex pages. Also the memory access pattern is slightly nicer for
polymorphic caches.

Reorder members and use u32 instead of Optional<u32> for things that
didn't actually need the "empty" state other than for assertions.

When an object becomes too big (currently 64 properties or more), we
change its shape to a dictionary and don't do any further transitions.
However, this means the Shape of the object no longer changes, so the
cache invalidation check of `current_shape != cache.shape` is no longer
a valid check.
This fixes that by keeping track of a generation number for the Shape
both on the Shape object and in the cache, allowing that to be checked
instead of the Shape identity. The generation is incremented whenever
the dictionary is mutated.
Fixes stale cache lookups on Gmail preventing emails from being
displayed.
I was not able to produce a reproduction for this, plus the generation
count was over the 20k mark on Gmail.
We also make the code a bit more generic by making callers provide
(templated) callbacks that produce the property name and base expression
string if any.
