Simon Zünd f96f93128c Reland "Implement top-level await for REPL mode"
This is a reland of 5bddc0e142

The original CL was speculatively reverted as it was suspected to
cause failures on the non-determinism bot. This was ultimately
confirmed to not be the case, so this CL is safe to reland as-is.

Original change's description:
> Implement top-level await for REPL mode
>
> Design doc: bit.ly/v8-repl-mode
>
> This CL allows the usage of 'await' without wrapping code in an async
> function when using REPL mode in global evaluate. REPL mode evaluate
> is changed to *always* return a Promise. The resolve value of the
> promise is the completion value of the REPL script.
>
> The implementation is based on two existing mechanisms:
>   - Similar to async functions, the content of a REPL script is
>     enclosed in a synthetic 'try' block. Any thrown error
>     is used to reject the Promise of the REPL script.
>
>   - The content of the synthetic 'try' block is also re-written the
>     same way a normal script is. This is, artificial assignments to
>     a ".result" variable are inserted to simulate a completion
>     value. The difference for REPL scripts is, that ".result" is
>     used to resolve the Promise of the REPL script.
>
>   - ".result" is not returned directly but wrapped in an object
>     literal: "{ .repl_result: .result}". This is done to prevent
>     resolved promises from being chained and resolved prematurely:
>
>     > Promse.resolve(42);
>
>     should evaluate to a promise, not 42.
