[api] add Isolate::Deinitialize() and Isolate::Free()

This allows embedders to mirror the isolate disposal routine
with an initialization routine that uses Isolate::Allocate().

```
v8::Isolate* isolate = v8::Isolate::Allocate();
// Use the isolate address as a key.
v8::Isolate::Initialize(isolate, params);

isolate->Deinitialize();
// Remove the entry keyed by isolate address.
v8::Isolate::Free(isolate);
```

Previously, the only way to dispose the isolate bundles the
de-initialization and the freeing of the address together in
v8::Isolate::Dispose(). This is inadequate for embedders like
Node.js that uses the isolate address as a key to manage the
task runner associated with it, if another thread gets an
isolate allocated at the aligned address before the other
thread finishes cleanup for the isolate previously allocated
at the same address, and locking on the entire disposal can
be too risky since it may post GC tasks that in turn requires
using the isolate address to locate the task runner. It's a
lot simpler to handle the issue if the disposal process of
the isolate can mirror the initialization of it and split
into two routines.

V8 JavaScript Engine

V8 is Google's open source JavaScript engine.

V8 implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262.

V8 is written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome, the open source browser from Google.

V8 can run standalone, or can be embedded into any C++ application.

V8 Project page: https://v8.dev/docs

Getting the Code

Checkout depot tools, and run

    fetch v8

This will checkout V8 into the directory v8 and fetch all of its dependencies. To stay up to date, run

    git pull origin
    gclient sync

For fetching all branches, add the following into your remote configuration in .git/config:

    fetch = +refs/branch-heads/*:refs/remotes/branch-heads/*
    fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
