Refactor mapped
Arguments
object (#1849)
This refactors the representation of the `[[ParameterMap]]` internal slot on the `Arguments` exotic object to be faster at runtime. Previously `[[ParameterMap]]` was a `JsObject` like the spec describes. This can be pretty slow a runtime, because the argument getters and setters must be represented as function objects on the `[[ParameterMap]]` object. In addition to the time spend on creation and calling of those functions, every getter/setter needs a cloned gc reference to the function environment to access the bindings. This adds to the gc overhead. The spec states that the `[[ParameterMap]]` internal slot doesn't have to be a `JsObject`. See NOTE 3 here: https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-arguments-exotic-objects Leveraging this freedom, we can use a more optimized representation, that avoids any `JsObject` usage and only needs one clone of the function environment.
