First round of lightfunc changes

A lot of changes to add preliminary lightfunc support:

* Add LIGHTFUNC tagged type to duk_tval.h and API.

* Internal changes for preliminary to support lightfuncs in call handling
  and other operations (FIXMEs left in obvious places where support is
  still missing after this commit)

* Preliminary Ecmascript and API testcases for lightfuncs

Detailed notes:

* Because magic is signed, reading it back involves sign extension which is
  quite verbose to do in C.  Use macros for reading the magic value and other
  bit fields encoded in the flags.

* Function.prototype.bind(): the 'length' property of a bound function now
  comes out wrong.  We could simply look up the virtual 'length' property
  even if h_target is NULL: no extra code and binding is relatively rare in
  hot paths.  Rewrite more cleanly in any case.

* The use flag DUK_USE_LIGHTFUNC_BUILTINS controls the forced lightfunc
  conversion of built-ins.  This results in non-compliant built-ins but
  significant memory savings in very memory poor environments.

* Reject eval(), Thread.yield/resume as lightfuncs.  These functions have
  current assertions that they must be called as fully fledged functions.

* Lightfuncs are serialized like ordinary functions for JSON, JX, and JC
  by this diff.

* Add 'magic' to activation for lightfuncs.  It will be needed for lightweight
  functions: we don't have the duk_tval related to the lightfunc, so we must
  copy the magic value to the activation when a call is made.

* When lightfuncs are used as property lookup base values, continue property
  lookup from the Function.prototype object.  This is necessary to allow e.g.
  ``func.call()`` and ``func.apply()`` to be used.

* Call handling had to be reworked for lightfuncs, especially how bound
  function chains are handled.  This is a relatively large change but is
  necessary to support lightweight functions properly in bound function
  resolution.

  The current solution is not ideal.  The bytecode executor will first try an
  ecma-to-ecma call setup which resolves the bound function chain first.  If
  the final, unbound function is not viable (a native function) the call setup
  returns with an error code.  The caller will then perform a normal call.
  Although bound function resolution has already been done, the normal call
  handling code will re-do it (and detect there is nothing to do).

  This situation could be avoided by decoupling bound function handling and
  effective this binding computation from the actual call setup.  The caller
  could then to do this prestep first, and only then decide whether to use an
  ecma-to-ecma call or an ordinary heavyweight call.

  Remove duk__find_nonbound_function as unused.

* Use indirect magic to allow LIGHTFUNCs for Date.  Most of the built-in
  functions not directly eligible as lightfuncs are the Date built-in methods,
  whose magic values contain too much information to fit into the 8-bit magic
  of a LIGHTFUNC value.

  To work around this, add an array (duk__date_magics[]) containing the
  actual control flags needed by the built-ins, and make the Date built-in
  magic value an index into this table.  With this change Date built-ins are
  successfully converted to lightfuncs.

Testcase fixes:

- Whitespace fixes
- Print error for indirect eval error to make diagnosis easier
- Fix error string to match errmsg updated in this branch
