Michael Lippautz 935d915186 cppgc: Introduce AllocationHandle
Unified heap support in V8 requires having another (at least internal)
heap that implements a unfied garbage collection strategy. This will
not re-use the already existing cppgc::Heap because there should be no
way in creating such a heap externally or scheduling stand-alone
garbage collections.

In order to have a common token, this CL introduces AllocationHandle
which can be passed to MakeGarbageCollected to allocate C++ objects.
V8 (soon) and the stand-alone heap both have methods to retrieve such
a handle.

This works around a problem with creating diamond class hierarchies
when a base class would be exposed on the public API level.

Fast paths for Blink are still possible because allocation handles can
be cached the same way (e.g. global, or TLS) as a heap can be cached.
