Caitlin Potter d3ca0d0050 [esnext] implement spec change to TaggedTemplate callsite caching
Implements the change outlined in https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/pull/890,
which has been ratified and pulled into the specification. In particular,
template callsite objects are no longer kept in a global, eternal Map, but
are instead associated with their callsite, which can be collected. This
prevents a memory leak incurred by TaggedTemplate calls.

Changes, summarized:

    - Remove the TemplateMap and TemplateMapShape objects, instead caching
      template objects in the feedback vector.
    - Remove the `hash` member of TemplateObjectDescriptor, and the Equals
      method (used by TemplateMap)
    - Add a new FeedbackSlotKind (kTemplateObject), which behaves similarly
      to FeedbackSlotKind::kLiteral, but prevents eval caching. This ensures
      that a new feedback vector is always created for eval() containing tagged
      templates, even when the CompilationCache is used.
    - GetTemplateObject bytecode now takes a feedback index, and only calls
      into the runtime if the feedback is Smi::kZero (uninitialized).
