[tools] Add list of classes to v8_debug_helper
This change extends v8_debug_helper to export a new method that returns a list of all known heap object types. Why? We can substantially improve the user experience in our work-in- progress WinDbg extension if we register handlers not only for v8::internal::Object but for every specific HeapObject type. This has two benefits: - You save a click: if you're expanding a local variable of a more specific type than Object, you can see properties immediately rather than first needing to expand a sub-item that casts the variable to Object. - You retain the type hint: GetObjectProperties accepts a type hint string, and it's super important to pass it when working in a crash dump because the object's Map is probably inaccessible. If we have to cast to Object first, we lose this data.
