Chris Tate dd927301fc Read builtins into untyped TypeScript slots as Node's values
In a TypeScript source, a builtin global used as an object literal member
(`const o: any = { j: JSON }`) failed to lower, and the member silently
became a closure that threw when called. Node reads the global itself, so
`typeof o.j` answered "function" instead of "object", two reads were never
equal, and `o.j.stringify(x)` threw "is not a function". There was no
diagnostic.

A builtin read into a slot the checker types as any or unknown now holds
the value a JavaScript source reads: the JSON, Math and Reflect namespace
objects, Buffer, and functions such as structuredClone, atob and
queueMicrotask. This covers object and array
literal members, arguments, initializers and return values. A member of a
literal whose own slot is any takes the literal's slot. Array, setTimeout
and setImmediate keep their refusal: their values lack Array's statics and
the timers' util.promisify.custom getter.

Object literal members of TypeScript sources no longer defer a failed
lowering to a runtime closure. A builtin with no value (Intl, Proxy,
parseInt, process, a typed slot) reports SC2020 at compile time.

util.inspect now prints a plain object's Symbol.toStringTag as Node does:
`Object [Math] {}`, `[Object [Y]]` past the depth limit, and
`[Object: null prototype] [N] {}`. The tag is read through the prototype
chain and getters, and it is skipped when it is empty, not a string, the
name "Object", listed as an own enumerable key, or its getter throws.
