[js weak refs] Migrate the WeakRef parts into the new API

New API is here: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-weakrefs/issues/55

The WeakCell parts stay in the old API, resulting in temporary code duplication
in some parts. Those parts will go away once the WeakCell-related parts are
migrated to the new API (but the spec needs some work first).
