[Internal][Added] - Introduce drainMicrotasks to JSI
This diff proposed a new JSI API `drainMicrotasks` to define
how hosts may integrate with the JSVMs' internal microtask
queue (a.k.a. job queue) and hence their native Promise.
The name `drainMicrotasks` is slightly preferred over `drainJobs`
to favor *host-friendliness* over *engine-friendliness*.
This diff auto implement the new API in JSC and Hermes as stubs
to make sure things compiled.
Please refer to the doc-comments in the `jsi.h` for a detailed
documentation on the semantics and the design of this API.
### Notes on the existing APIs from JSVMs
The presence of such queue and APIs to operate on them are
ubiquitous:
- Hermes: `Runtime::drainJobs`
- V8: `MicrotaskQueue::PerformCheckpoint`
- JSC: `VM::drainMicrotasks`
- QuickJS: `JS_ExecutePendingJob`
The only exception is ChakraCore, which requires hosts to provide
the queue and set up the `JsSetPromiseContinuationCallback`,
but a JSI implementation can provide that queue trivially.
### Extra note on ECMA-262
ECMA-262 changed the spec at Mar 2020 from "asking an ECMAScript
implementation to maintain a Job Queue" to "Ask the embedder to
define its event loop, including the job queue" so technically:
- the internal approach is closer to the old spec.
- the ChakraCore approach is closer to the current spec.
