In the spec, WeakRefs that are dereferenced are kept alive until there's
no JS on the stack, and then the host is expected to call
ClearKeptObjects to clear those strong references [1]. HTML calls
ClearKeptObjects at the end of a PerformMicrotaskCheckpoint [2].
In V8, leaving this up to the embedder is error prone in the same way
the deprecated FinalizationGroup callback APIs were error prone: it
depends on the embedder doing the right thing. This CL moves the call to
ClearKeptObjects to be after running of microtasks within V8.
However, the Isolate::ClearKeptObjects API should not be removed or
deprecated in case an embedder uses an entirely custom MicrotaskQueue
implementation and invokes MicrotaskQueue::PerformCheckpoint manually.
