lib: add support for JSTransferable as a mixin
Adds a new `makeTransferable()` utility that can construct a `JSTransferable` object that does not directly extend the `JSTransferable` JavaScript class. Because JavaScript does not support multiple inheritance, it is not possible (without help) to implement a class that extends both `JSTransferable` and, for instance, `EventTarget` without incurring a significant additional complexity and performance cost by making all `EventTarget` instances extend `JSTransferable`... That is, we *don't* want: ```js class EventTarget extends JSTransferable { ... } ``` The `makeTransferable()` allows us to create objects that are backed internally by `JSTransferable` without having to actually extend it by leveraging the magic of `Reflect.construct()`. ```js const { JSTransferable, kClone, kDeserialize, kConstructor, makeTransferable, } = require('internal/worker/js_transferable'); class E { constructor(b) { this.b = b; } } class F extends E { [kClone]() { /** ... **/ } [kDeserialize]() { /** ... **/ } static [kConstructor]() { return makeTransferable(F); } } const f = makeTransferable(F, 1); f instanceof F; // true f instanceof E; // true f instanceof JSTransferable; // false const mc = new MessageChannel(); mc.port1.onmessage = ({ data }) => { data instanceof F; // true data instanceof E; // true data instanceof JSTransferable; // false }; mc.port2.postMessage(f); // works! ``` The additional `internal/test/transfer.js` file is required for the test because successfully deserializing transferable classes requires that they be located in `lib/internal` for now.
