51274d3c99 [turbofan] Introduce the notion of context-sensitivity for JS operators.
This change adds predicates to check whether a given JavaScript operator
needs the "current context" or if any surrounding context (including the
"native context") does it. For example JSAdd doesn't ever need the
current context, but actually only the native context. In the
BytecodeGraphBuilder we use this predicate to check whether a given
operator needs the current context, and if not, we just pass in the
native context.

Doing so we improve the performance on the benchmarks given in the
tracking bug significantly, and go from something around

  arrayMap: 476 ms.
  arrayFilter: 312 ms.
  arrayEvery: 241 ms.
  arraySome: 152 ms.

to

  arrayMap: 377 ms.
  arrayFilter: 296 ms.
  arrayEvery: 191 ms.
  arraySome: 91 ms.

which is an up to 40% improvement. So for idiomatic modern JavaScript
which uses higher order functions quite a lot, not just the builtins
provided by the JSVM, this is going to improve peak performance
noticably.

This also makes it possible to completely eliminate all the allocations
in the aliased sloppy arguments example

```js
function foo(a) { return arguments.length; }
```

concretely we don't allocate the function context anymore and we also
don't allocate the arguments object anymore (the JSStackCheck was the
reason why we did this in the past, because it was holding on to the
current context, which also kept the allocation for the arguments
alive).
