This change extends v8_debug_helper to export a new method that returns
a list of all known heap object types.
Why? We can substantially improve the user experience in our work-in-
progress WinDbg extension if we register handlers not only for
v8::internal::Object but for every specific HeapObject type. This has
two benefits:
- You save a click: if you're expanding a local variable of a more
specific type than Object, you can see properties immediately rather
than first needing to expand a sub-item that casts the variable to
Object.
- You retain the type hint: GetObjectProperties accepts a type hint
string, and it's super important to pass it when working in a crash
dump because the object's Map is probably inaccessible. If we have to
cast to Object first, we lose this data.
