Malte Ubl 6ddaa2a140 Drop guards on private constructor stores and borrow construction-only fields
Two uses of the construction-only facts outside the collector
(backend/immutability.ts):

- Publication guards: a store into the constructor's own `this` that lies
  before the constructor's escape point, in a constructor no ancestor of
  which lets `this` escape and that is never invoked directly on an
  existing object, cannot target a published object. It loses its
  rc == SIZE_MAX guard and no longer seeds may-throw, so constructors that
  could only throw through guards lose their pending checks at every `new`.
  Storing `this` into one of its own fields does not expose it.
- Borrowed reads: `x.f` holding an object, record, array or string is
  borrowed as a call argument, receiver or stable alias when `f` is
  construction-only and `x` is itself borrowable (unchanged local,
  borrowed parameter, or such a projection): nothing can replace and
  release it while `x` lives. Not inside constructors, which may still
  write their own fields. Module constants (immutable, not TDZ-checked,
  assigned at most once) are borrowable too.

No object is frozen or marked at run time; publication errors, store order
and reflection are unchanged.

tsc-ts (e469e33), static: published-field guards 6,528 -> 4,462,
sc_release calls 146,056 -> 129,756, sc_retain calls 26,215 -> 22,123,
scr_arr_release 29,865 -> 25,617, binary 23.68 -> 22.96 MB (both commits).
Self-check single-threaded, executed: guards 96.1M -> 60.8M, retains
273.5M -> 247.2M, releases 340.3M -> 314.0M.

Linux sandbox, interleaved medians, both commits against
