It turns out that some old polyfill library uses
RegExp.prototype.flags as a way of feature testing. It's not clear
how widespread this is. For now, as a minimal workaround, we can
return undefined from getters like RegExp.prototype.global when
the receiver is RegExp.prototype. This patch implements that strategy
but omits a UseCounter to make backports easier.

Unexpectedly, websites depend on doing feature testing with
RegExp.prototype.sticky and browser testing with RegExp.prototype.toString().
ES2015 newly throws exceptions for both of these. In order to enable shipping
new ES2015 semantics, this patch puts in narrow workarounds for those two
cases, keeping their old behavior. UseCounters are added for how often
those particular cases come up, so we can see if it can be deprecated.
This reland replaces problematic legacy const usage with var, to
avoid issues with nosnap builds.
