[map] Make field representation updates work with elements kind transitions.

Generalize the existing work-around in the method
`Map::GeneralizeIfCanHaveTransitionableFastElementsKind()` to also go to
the most general field representation (in addition to going to the most
field type) for objects with transitionable fast elements kinds. That
means that we essentially disable field representation tracking for
arrays, arguments objects and value wrappers (for which the field type
tracking is already disabled).

Drive-by-fix: Remove the `constness` parameter to the above mentioned
helper method. And fix the printing of the descriptor expectations to
properly print the field type.
