[ic] Improve KeyedStoreIC performance for dictionaries.
Once the KeyedStoreIC was in MEGAMORPHIC state storing to dictionary mode objects, we'd constantly hit the slow-path implemented via the %SetProperty runtime function, if the dictionary was created with a null prototype, i.e. via Object.create(null). This goes against the advice of using Object.create(null) for dictionaries (compared to using empty object literal), which is unfortunate. This CL addresses two issues, starting with - adding support for null prototypes to LookupPropertyOnPrototypeChain, which was always hitting the slow path for null prototypes, and - using the dedicated %AddDictionaryProperty runtime call when we have to grow the backing store. These changes combined improve the micro-benchmark from storeToDictionary: 559 ms. storeToFast: 95 ms. to storeToDictionary: 201 ms. storeToFast: 94 ms. which reduces overhead by about 65%. This overall improves the chai test on the web-tooling-benchmark by about 4%, which still leaves some room for improvement.
