    Implement top-level await for REPL mode · 5bddc0e1

    Design doc: bit.ly/v8-repl-mode
    
    This CL allows the usage of 'await' without wrapping code in an async
    function when using REPL mode in global evaluate. REPL mode evaluate
    is changed to *always* return a Promise. The resolve value of the
    promise is the completion value of the REPL script.
    
    The implementation is based on two existing mechanisms:
      - Similar to async functions, the content of a REPL script is
        enclosed in a synthetic 'try' block. Any thrown error
        is used to reject the Promise of the REPL script.
    
      - The content of the synthetic 'try' block is also re-written the
        same way a normal script is. This is, artificial assignments to
        a ".result" variable are inserted to simulate a completion
        value. The difference for REPL scripts is, that ".result" is
        used to resolve the Promise of the REPL script.
    
      - ".result" is not returned directly but wrapped in an object
        literal: "{ .repl_result: .result}". This is done to prevent
        resolved promises from being chained and resolved prematurely:
    
        > Promse.resolve(42);
    
        should evaluate to a promise, not 42.
