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).
