This adds references to HeapObject fields to Torque.
The syntax is based on Rust (which is essentially C pointer syntax).
The type &T is a reference to T (which must be a scalar type for now).
We can create references from field access expressions, using the
addressof(&) operator:
&obj.fieldname
To read or assign a reference, we use the dereference(*) operator:
*someref = *otherref
This CL also uses references internally normal class field accesses,
but only if there is no overload for field accessor functions.
This allows to have overloaded field accessors for a subtype like
FastJSArray. However, there is a change in behavior in that an
operator ".fieldname" will stop reference creation and will therefore
also stop write access to a class field of the same name. That's why
this CL had to add a write overload ".length=" for FastJSArray.
References desugar to a pair of a tagged HeapObject pointer and an
untagged offset into this HeapObject. On the CSA-side, they are
represented by the C++ struct
struct TorqueReference {
TNode<HeapObject> object;
TNode<IntPtrT> offset;
};
