Benedikt Meurer ad21d212fc Preserve "proper method names" as-is in error.stack.
This changes the logic for generating method names in `error.stack` to
prepend an inferred type name only when the function name is a valid
ECMAScript identifiers and does not equal the inferred type name, to

(1) give developers more control over the exact name shown in
    `error.stack`, as well as
(2) avoid confusion in the presence of renaming of local variables.

Previously we'd leave the function name as-is if it was prefixed by the
inferred type name, but that condition is unnecessarily strict, and led
to a bunch of inconsistencies around special names like
`<instance_member_initializer>` where this dynamic approached often
prefixed it with the correct type name, but also sometimes got it wrong
and prepended `Object.`, which is very unfortunate and misleading.
Specifically for these special names, we'll add logic later in the
parser to infer a useful (complete) name.

The design doc (https://bit.ly/devtools-method-names-in-stack-traces)
contains more background and examples of why we do this change.
