This moves the __proto__ property to Object.prototype and turns it into
a callback property actually present in the descriptor array as opposed
to a hack in the properties lookup. For now it still is a "magic" data
property using foreign callbacks and not an accessor property visible to
JavaScript.
The second effect of this change is that JSON.parse() no longer treats
the __proto__ property specially, it will be defined as any other data
property. Note that object literals still have their special handling.

* Turned all uses of 'const' into 'var'.
* Turned all uses of local 'function' into 'var'.
* Added a couple of missing toplevel 'var' declarations.
One consequence is that the properties on the builtin object are no longer
non-writable, and I had to adapt one test. Is that a problem?
Unfortunately, we cannot actually switch the library scripts to strict mode
by default, because that makes observable things like poisoned .caller properties
for library functions.
Also removed dead flag code in Compiler::Compile.

The prototype of builtin functions is already unwritable, so we don't
have to make it so (the default map for functions changes after builtins
are initialized).
We no longer need to make the prototype non-extensible, since all properties
that are ever read by the bultins code has been added and frozen already.
Adding properties to the prototype, or changing its __proto__, cannot affect
code.
Removing these two pieces of initialization code reduces the snapshot size
by a few Kb.
