Avi Halachmi (:avih) c4c1524e97 gc: don't ignore property allocations count ...

They're not negligible in the overall count.

This decreases the performance of scripts which use objects with many
properties because the GC threshold remains the same (10K) but it's
reached quicker due to counting more allocations, so GC is more
frequent and wastes more overall time.

Good example of the performance impact is the splay.js v8 bench test,
where this commit reduces its score by a factor of 5.

We're not changing the threshold because it's arbitrary anyway, but the
next commit will change it in a way which allows more proportional
control of the GC overhead.
