ScopeInfo objects generally start with three fields: flags, parameter count, and local variable count. But a single read-only ScopeInfo instance has none of those fields. This is the empty ScopeInfo, which is used for contexts that don't correspond to any scope (the native context and contexts for builtin functions). Since there is only ever a single instance of the empty ScopeInfo, the memory savings of omitting these fields is trivial, and we can simplify logic somewhat by including them. Rather than checking for length to be zero, this change introduces a new flag indicating that a ScopeInfo instance is the empty one. On its own, this change doesn't provide a whole lot of value. However, it sets us up for two further improvements, which are consistent with the goals outlined in [1]: 1. We should fully describe ScopeInfo fields in Torque. Getting rid of the requirement to check for emptiness would substantially simplify the indexed field expressions. 2. ScopeInfo shouldn't inherit from FixedArray, and shouldn't begin with a `length` field when the length can be computed from the other fields. This would save a small amount of heap memory and avoid any possibility of a mismatch between the two ways of computing the length.
