Alexander Markov 9f49b47823 [vm/bytecode] Revise representation of objects and strings in bytecode
This is a major revamp of bytecode metadata format. Now bytecode has
its own serialization mechanisms.

This CL adds 'bytecode component' metadata, which contains bytecode
object table and string table. All references from bytecode (constant
pools) to libraries, classes, members, types and strings now have a new
format. References to frequently used objects are represented as indices
in object table, while rarely used objects are written inline.
This allows VM to cache frequently used objects while reading bytecode.

Representation of strings is aligned with VM - string characters are
stored in separate pools of one-byte and two-byte strings. This allows
VM to avoid UTF-8 decoding and extra copying.

Closure declarations are now explicit. Type parameters no longer require
enslosing scopes when reading/writing them.
