Caitlin Potter b6f7ea5805 [runtime] use new CloneObject bytecode for some ObjectLiteralSpread cases
As discussed in
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sBdGe8RHgeYP850cKSSgGABTyfMdvaEWLy-vertuTCo/edit?ts=5b3ba5cc#,

this CL introduces a new bytecode (CloneObject), and a new IC type.

In this prototype implementation, the type feedback looks like the
following:

Uninitialized case:
  { uninitialized_sentinel, uninitialized_sentinel }
Monomorphic case:
  { weak 'source' map, strong 'result' map }
Polymorphic case:
  { WeakFixedArray with { weak 'source' map, strong 'result' map }, cleared value }
Megamorphic case:
  { megamorphic_sentinel, cleared_Value }

In the fast case, Object cloning is done by allocating an object with
the saved result map, and a shallow clone of the fast properties from
the source object, as well as cloned fast elements from the source object.
If at any point the fast case can't be taken, the IC transitions to the
slow case and remains there.

This prototype CL does not include any TurboFan optimization, and the
CloneObject operation is merely reduced to a stub call.

It may still be possible to get some further improvements by somehow
incorporating compile-time boilerplate elements into the cloned object,
or simplifying how the boilerplate elements are inserted into the
object.

In terms of performance, we improve the ObjectSpread score in JSTests/ObjectLiteralSpread/
by about 8x, with substantial improvements over the Babel and ObjectAssign scores.
