Attached patch fix-iscallableSplinter Review
Right now, whenever the JS engine does isCallable or isConstructor on a CPOW, we send a message to the other side asking for the answer. However, these results are currently constant for a given object, so it makes sense to send this information when the CPOW is created.

At first I came up with a complex scheme for sending data about "new" objects that the other side hadn't seen before. However, I think it makes more sense just to send this data every time we reference a given object. Sending a few extra bytes is cheap, especially compared to what we're saving here, which is an entire sync roundtrip.

This reduces the number of CPOW IPC calls in a testcase I have from 19105 to 16837.

The rooting hazards that this patch was implicated in did not go away after the backout. Relanding.

Apparently it was actually my fault, although the hazard is a false positive. Fixed.
