Dan Elphick f602712f6f [snapshot] Create a ReadOnly snapshot
In preparation for sharing RO_SPACE between all Isolates within a
process, this first pulls RO_SPACE out of the Startup snapshot and puts
it in its own ReadOnly snapshot.

The snapshot is first populated with the read-only roots. After that the
StartupSerializer serializes as before but starting from the first
mutable root. References to objects in the ReadOnly snapshot that aren't
themselves roots are added to a new cache called ReadOnlyObjectCache
which functions like the PartialSnapshotCache but lives in the
ReadOnlySerializer rather than the StartupSerializer. These cache
entries are referenced using a new bytecode: ReadOnlyObjectCache. (To
make room for this, the ApiReference bytecode has been moved).

To reduce code duplication, the StartupSerializer has been refactored to
create a new base class RootSerializer, which ReadOnlySerializer also
subclasses. The base class is responsible primarily for keeping track of
already serialized roots and visiting the roots.
