Fast path for "simple" arrays.

An array without holes and with only integer properties can be represented
with a "flat" array part that allows for O(1) property access.

If we ever add a non-integer property, create holes in the array,
the whole array is unpacked into a normal string-keyed object.

Also add fast integer indexing to be used on these arrays, before falling
back to converting the integer to a string property lookup.

Use JS_ARRAYLIMIT to restrict size of arrays to avoid integer overflows and out
of memory thrashing.
