Andreas Kling 54a1a66112 LibJS: Store cache pointers directly in bytecode instructions
Instead of storing a u32 index into a cache vector and looking up the
cache at runtime through a chain of dependent loads (load Executable*,
load vector data pointer, multiply index, add), store the actual cache
pointer as a u64 directly in the instruction stream.

A fixup pass (Executable::fixup_cache_pointers()) runs after Executable
construction in both the Rust and C++ pipelines, walking the bytecode
and replacing each index with the corresponding pointer.

The cache pointer type is encoded in Bytecode.def (e.g.
PropertyLookupCache*, GlobalVariableCache*) so the fixup switch is
auto-generated by the Python Op code generator, making it impossible
to forget updating the fixup when adding new cached instructions.

This eliminates 3-4 dependent loads on every inline cache access in
both the C++ interpreter and the assembly interpreter.
