Chris Tate 3e115ce08c Cache absent properties in the dynamic tier's property caches
A read site's cache only remembered properties it found on the receiver
or its first prototype. Reads of properties an object lacks, which
validation libraries make constantly (zod reads ctx.skipChecks,
payload.memo, x.aborted and _zod.optin on every check), walked the whole
shape chain and then repeated the lookup on the generic path every time:
7.9 million such reads in one zod benchmark run.

- Read sites call a new probe, scr_js_get_probe, that answers undefined
  for a key the receiver and its chain of plain shaped objects (at most
  one prototype, ending in the default prototype) lack, and caches that
  answer. The entry holds while the receiver's shape, its prototype link,
  and that prototype's shape are unchanged. Its tag and placeholder
  holder make the inline entry-0 test in compiled code miss, so the
  answer always comes from the probe. Method reads keep
  scr_js_load_probe, so a missing method still reaches the slow path and
  its "is not a function" error. Names of Object.prototype members are
  never cached as absent.
- Receivers of one shape with different prototypes (zod's internals
  objects) each keep an entry instead of replacing one another.
- A site whose four-way record is full consults a per-thread table keyed
  by shape and key before walking shapes, and fills it.
