This is a step towards off-heap (and eventually isolate-independent)
builtins.
Off-heap code cannot use the standard CallStub/CallRuntime mechanisms,
since they directly embed the callee code object pointer within the
caller. There are two main issues with that: 1. the callee may be
moved by GC, and 2. the pc-relative addressing we currently use breaks
(i.e. ends up pointing to a random spot on the heap) when moving the
caller off-heap.
This CL addresses that by introducing a constants list stored on the
roots array. Instead of embedding code targets, we now have the option
of loading them from constants list. The code sequence is:
REX.W movq rax,[r13+0x4a0] // Load the constants cache.
REX.W movq rdx,[rax+0xf] // From there, load the code target.
...
REX.W addq rdx,0x5f // Add instruction_start.
call rdx
There's no visible performance impact on the web tooling benchmark.
This list will later be extended to also contain other constants such
as Strings.
