Attachment: Bug 1701305 - Add off-thread compile API for JS::Stencil. r?arai!

Note that starting the off-thread compile simply uses the existing
mechanisms. We only need a special "finish" function to avoid automatic
instantiation.

Depends on D109956

Attachment: Bug 1701305 - Add ES-module support to JS::Stencil API. r?arai!

While this API also parses to a Stencil, care must be taken by callers since
parsing JavaScript text as a module vs global script as different semantics
(as defined in ECMAScript spec).

Depends on D109956

This doesn't have a direct consumer yet, but will eventually be used for dom::ScriptLoader to directly work with Stencils.
