This allows elements of the non-strict arguments object to be redefined
with custom attributes and still maintain an alias into the context.
Such a slow alias is maintained by placing a special marker into the
dictionary backing store of the arguments object.

This also refactors the way we set the length of an arrays' backing
store to use the new elements accessor interface. The actual fix is in
DictionaryElementsAccessor::SetLengthWithoutNormalize() where we first
search for non-deletable elements according to ES5 section 15.4.5.2
specifications.
Snippet from the specification: Attempting to set the length property of
an Array object to a value that is numerically less than or equal to the
largest numeric property name of an existing array indexed non-deletable
property of the array will result in the length being set to a numeric
value that is one greater than that largest numeric property name.

Advantage is that it's much easier to add new element types (like FAST_SMI_ELEMENTS), and that handling logic for each element kind is (more) consolidated.
Currently, only GetElementsWithReceiver uses the new encapsulation, but the goal is to move much more element functionality into the class incrementally.
