[turbofan] Introduce InstanceOfIC to collect rhs feedback.

This adds a new InstanceOfIC where the TestInstanceOf bytecode collects
constant feedback about the right-hand side of instanceof operators,
including both JSFunction and JSBoundFunction instances. TurboFan then
uses the feedback to optimize instanceof in places where the right-hand
side is not a known constant (known to TurboFan).

This addresses the odd performance cliff that we see with instanceof in
functions with multiple closures. It was discovered as one of the main
bottlenecks on the uglify-es test in the web-tooling-benchmark. The
uglify-es test (run in separation) is ~18% faster with this change.

On the micro-benchmark in the tracking bug we go from

  instanceofSingleClosure_Const: 69 ms.
  instanceofSingleClosure_Class: 246 ms.
  instanceofMultiClosure: 246 ms.
  instanceofParameter: 246 ms.

to

  instanceofSingleClosure_Const: 70 ms.
  instanceofSingleClosure_Class: 75 ms.
  instanceofMultiClosure: 76 ms.
  instanceofParameter: 73 ms.

boosting performance by roughly 3.6x and thus effectively removing the
performance cliff around instanceof.
