Enable component builds for fuzzers

V8 is collecting a growing amount of fuzzers, all of which take substantial
space on the bots and in chromium build archives. This CL improves that
situation by allowing component (shared library) builds for almost all fuzzers.

The parser fuzzer is handled as an exception since it would require exporting a
large number of additional functions.

A component build results in about a 50-100x improvement in file size for each
fuzzer (~50M-100M to around 1.1M).
