This removes more copies of the code cache data.

First: for the builtin snapshot, we were copying the code cache to create a std::vector<uint8_t>. This was slowing down static intialization. Change it to use a good old uint8_t* and size_t rather than a vector. For the case of embedder provided snapshots, we also add an owning_ptr so that we can properly cleanup owned values created from the snapshot.

Second: whenever the code cache was hit, we would remove the bytecode from the code cache, and then reserialize it from the compiled function. This was pretty slow. Change the code so that we can reuse the same code cache multiple times. If the code cache is rejected (say, because the user added V8 options), then we need to generate the bytecode, in which case we again use owning_ptr to ensure that the underlying code cache is freed.

Combined, these changes improve the misc/startup.js benchmarks significantly (p < 0.001):

  • process,benchmark/fixtures/require-builtins: 22.15%
  • process,test/fixtures/semicolon: 8.55%
  • worker,benchmark/fixtures/require-builtins: 26.52%
  • worker,test/fixtures/semicolon: 21.52%

Nice find, I think the generation logic came from a time when we didn't generate the code cache at build time (we always generated the code cache so that workers can reuse the cache compiled by the main thread), but it's obsolete now that we pre-generate the code cache at build time..
