    [console] Proper type conversions in console builtins. · 099cb420
    Benedikt Meurer authored
    This updates the following set of console builtins in V8 to match the
    Console Standard (https://console.spec.whatwg.org) with respect to
    (potentially side effecting) type conversions:
    
      - console.debug
      - console.error
      - console.info
      - console.log
      - console.trace
      - console.warn
      - console.group
      - console.groupCollapsed
      - console.assert
    
    The V8 implementation only performs the type conversions and updates
    the arguments in-place with the results from the %String% constructor,
    %parseInt%, or %parseFloat% invocations. The actual formatting is
    still left completely to the debugger front-end.
    
    To give a concrete example, the following code
    
    ```js
    const msgFmt = {
      toString() { return 'Message %i' }
    };
    console.log('LOG: %s`, msgFmt, 42);
    ```
    
    sends the following parameters to the debugger front-end
    
    ```js
    ["LOG: %s", "Message %i", 42]
    ```
    
    and it's then the job of the front-end to perform the actual string
    substitutions.
    
    It's also worth calling out that the console builtins are only
    concerned with %s, %f, %d, and %i formatting specifiers, since
    these are the only ones that trigger type conversions, and %o, %O,
    and %c can only be implemented in a meaningful way at a higher
    level.
