- upgrade v8 to 13.4
- turbocall conversion for arraybuffers is now much more complex, so use
cranelift
- misc updates for deprecated fns
- v8 default stack size is too small now, causing stack overflow
exceptions in some tests
- add syscall shim to support new syscall in old sysroot
The mixed `number | bigint` representation was useful optimization for
pointers. Now, pointers are represented as V8 externals. As part of the
FFI stabilization effort we want to make `bigint` the only
representation for `u64` and `i64`.
BigInt representation performance is almost on par with mixed
representation with the added benefit that its less confusing and users
don't need manual checks and conversions for doing operations on the
value.

1. Generally we should prefer to use the `log` crate.
2. I very often accidentally commit `eprintln`s.
When we should use `println` or `eprintln`, it's not too bad to be a bit
more verbose and ignore the lint rule.
