machenbach e538b70e1a Revert of [wasm] Transferrable modules (patchset #13 id:280001 of https://codereview.chromium.org/2748473004/ )
Reason for revert:
Breaks layout tests:

Original issue's description:
> [wasm] Transferrable modules
>
> We want to restrict structured cloning in Chrome to:
> - postMessage senders and receivers that are co-located
> in the same process
> - indexedDB (just https).
>
> For context, on the Chrome side, we will achieve the postMessage part
> by using a mechanism similar to transferrables: the
> SerializedScriptValue will have a list of wasm modules, separate from
> the serialized data stream; and this list won't be copied cross
> process boundaries. The IDB part is achieved by explicitly opting in
> reading/writing to the serialization stream. To block attack vectors
> in IPC cases, the default for deserialization will be to expect data
> in the wasm transfers list.
>
> This change is the V8 side necessary to enabling this design. We
> introduce TransferrableModule, an opaque datatype exposed to the
> embedder. Internally, TransferrableModules are just serialized data,
> because we don't have a better mechanism, at the moment, for
> de-contextualizing/re-contextualizing wasm modules (wrt Isolate and
> Context).
>
> The chrome defaults will be implemented in the
> serialization/deserialization delegates on that side. For the v8 side
> of things, in the absence of a serialization delegate, the V8
> serializer will write to serialization stream. In the absence of a
> deserialization delegate, the deserializer won't work. This asymmetry
> is intentional - it communicates to the embedder the need to make a
> policy decision, otherwise wasm serialization/deserialization won't
> work "out of the box".

V8 JavaScript Engine

V8 is Google's open source JavaScript engine.

V8 implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262.

V8 is written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome, the open source browser from Google.

V8 can run standalone, or can be embedded into any C++ application.

V8 Project page: https://github.com/v8/v8/wiki

Getting the Code

Checkout depot tools, and run

    fetch v8

This will checkout V8 into the directory v8 and fetch all of its dependencies. To stay up to date, run

    git pull origin
    gclient sync

For fetching all branches, add the following into your remote configuration in .git/config:

    fetch = +refs/branch-heads/*:refs/remotes/branch-heads/*
    fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
