    This reverts commit 29c1eab9.
    
    Reason for revert: Causes Blink test failures:
    https://ci.chromium.org/p/v8/builders/ci/V8%20Blink%20Linux/4222
    
    Original change's description:
    > [builtins] Clean up the use of class_name / ES5 [[Class]]
    > 
    > Before ES2015, the ES spec had a [[Class]] internal slot for all
    > objects, which Object.prototype.toString() would use to figure the
    > returned string. Post-ES2015, the [[Class]] slot was removed in spec for
    > all objects, with the @@toStringTag well-known symbol the proper way to
    > change Object.prototype.toString() output.
    > 
    > At the time, spec-identical handling without the use of [[Class]] was
    > implemented in V8 for all objects other than API objects, where issues
    > with the Web IDL spec [1] prevented Blink, and hence V8, to totally
    > migrate to @@toStringTag. However, since 2016 [2] Blink has been setting
    > @@toStringTag on API class prototypes to manage the
    > Object.prototype.toString() output, so the legacy [[Class]] handling in
    > V8 has not been necessary for the past couple of years.
    > 
    > This CL removes the remaining legacy [[Class]] handling in
    > Object.prototype.toString(), JSReceiver::class_name(), and
    > GetConstructorName(). However, it does not remove the class_name field
    > in FunctionTemplateInfo, as it is still used for the `name` property of
    > created functions.
    > 
    > This CL also cleans up other places in the codebase that still reference
    > [[Class]].
    > 
    > This change should have minimal impact on web-compatibility. For the
    > change to be observable, a script must do one of the following:
    > 
    > 1. delete APIConstructor.prototype[Symbol.toStringTag];
    > 2. Object.setPrototypeOf(apiObject, somethingElse);
    > 
    > Before this CL, these changes will not change the apiObject.toString()
    > output. But after this CL, they will make apiObject.toString() show
    > "[object Object]" (in the first case) or the @@toStringTag of the other
    > prototype (in the latter case).
    > 
    > However, both are deemed unlikely. @@toStringTag is not well-known
    > feature of JavaScript, nor does it get tampered much on API
    > constructors. In the second case, setting the prototype of an API object
    > would effectly render the object useless, as all its methods (including
    > property getters/setters) would no longer be accessible.
    > 
    > Currently, @@toStringTag-based API object branding is not yet
    > implemented by other browsers. This V8 bug in particular has been an
    > impediment to standardizing toString behavior. Fixing this bug will
    > unblock [3] and lead to a better Web IDL spec, and better toString()
    > compatibility for all.
