Origin trials allow webpages to use experimental features even though
the features are not yet enabled by default. These features will then
get enabled per execution context: it is possible that the feature is
enabled in one execution context but disabled in another execution
context. In V8 we check for origin trials by calling a callback provided
by the embedder that takes the context as a parameter and returns
whether a feature is enabled in this context or not.
This approach fails when a feature changes the context itself, e.g. by
extending the global object. In that case the context is not available
yet to check for the origin trial.
To solve the problem this CL adds a new API function that can be called
by the embedder to notify V8 that context with the origin trial
information is finished. After that V8 can read the origin trial
information from the context and extend e.g. the global object with the
origin trial features.
Additionally to the API this CL also adds code to enable the
WebAssembly.Exception constructor conditionally, depending on whether
it has been enabled by an origin trial or not.
