As discussed elsewhere, FinalizationRegistry should behave the same as Promise and track the incumbent global.

Spec discussion of this issue:

https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/4571/files/5d1c10025a1181f148cc75ab5d7eea777ca28cf4#diff-36cd38f49b9afa08222c0dc9ebfe35ebR88957-R88962

We are aiming for Shu's option 1, tracking the incumbent for both Promise and FinalizationRegistry.

Severity: -- → S4
Priority: -- → P1

This changes the way the the host triggers cleanup, from calling an API to calling a JS function. This is done so we can use the existing DOM infrastructure that handles setting up the incumbent global for us.

This also factors out FinalizationRegistry support into a separate class.

The JS engine now passes a callback function and the incumbent global which are recorded in QueueCallback. FinalizationRegistryCleanup::DoCleanup creates a CallbackObject can calls it immediately (I originally tried creating it in QueueCallback but there were problems because this is called during GC).

I coped most of this from the way promise reaction jobs work. I added FinalizationRegistryCleanupCallback; I don't know if that's overkill.

Depends on D83613

These patches have triggered a case where a MacOS header defines 'check' as a macro which then conflicts with use of 'check' as a method name in AccessCheck.h, probably due to unified builds.

This was fixed independently in a couple of places before, but I think it makes sense to move the fix to AccessCheck.h itself.

The previous patches store the incumbent global directly, which is going to be a problem if it's in another compartment. It needs to be wrapped into the current compartment. But that can be problematic too since you don't know how far to unwrap it to get the original gobal object back (it might itself be a wrapper). The solution used for promises is to store a CCW to another object with the same global. This patch applies the same fix to FinalizationRegistry.
