worker: add markAsUncloneable api

External modules need a way to decorate their objects so that node can
recognize it as a host object for serialization process. Exposing a way
for turning off instead of turning on is much safer.

+
+Mark an object as not cloneable. If `object` is used as [`message`](#event-message) in
+a [`port.postMessage()`][] call, an error is thrown. This is a no-op if `object` is a
+primitive value.
+
+This has no effect on `ArrayBuffer`, or any `Buffer` like objects.
+
+This operation cannot be undone.
