Add an `array_buffer_allocator_shared` field to the `Isolate::CreateParams` struct that allows embedders to share ownership of the ArrayBuffer::Allocator with V8, and which in particular means that when this method is used that the BackingStore deleter will not perform an use-after-free access to the Allocator under certain circumstances. For Background: tl;dr: This is necessary for Node.js to perform the transition to V8 7.9, because of the way that ArrayBuffer::Allocators and their lifetimes currently work there. In Node.js, each Worker thread has its own ArrayBuffer::Allocator. Changing that would currently be impractical, as each allocator depends on per-Isolate state. However, now that backing stores are managed globally and keep a pointer to the original ArrayBuffer::Allocator, this means that when transferring an ArrayBuffer (e.g. from one Worker to another through postMessage()), the original Allocator has to be kept alive until the ArrayBuffer no longer exists in the receiving Isolate (or until that Isolate is disposed). See [1] for an example Node.js test that fails with V8 7.9. This problem also existed for SharedArrayBuffers, where Node.js was broken by V8 earlier for the same reasons (see [2] for the bug report on that and [3] for the resolution in Node.js). For SharedArrayBuffers, we already had extensive tracking logic, so adding a shared_ptr to keep alive the ArrayBuffer::Allocator was not a significant amount of work. However, the mechanism for transferring non-shared ArrayBuffers is quite different, and it seems both easier for us and better for V8 from an API standpoint to keep the Allocator alive from where it is being referenced. By sharing memory with the custom deleter function/data pair, this comes at no memory overhead.
