We implement `super` by way of a new `Object` impl which wraps arbitrary objects with a modified prototype chain. Specifically, the lowest layer of the prototype chain is omitted. This new `SuperObject` script is composable: a chain of two `SuperObject`s will go two levels of inheritance upwards while still maintaining non-prototype property access.
Add DisplayObject::slash_path to get the Flash 4-style slash path
to the clip. This fixes the tellTarget regression test and removes
the superfluous `target_path` from `UpdateContext`.
DisplayObject code no longer has to manage
UpdateContext::active_clip before calling out to children, because
each child still has access to its Gc pointer.
This was discovered almost by accident: @Dinnerbone noticed that `_global == null`, and surmised that `valueOf` was the culprit. However, this doesn't really make sense: `_global` is a bare object, so it shouldn't have a `valueOf` (and in practice, it doesn't).
The ultimate cause of such an odd comparison is as such:
1. Flash coerces the `_global` object to a numerical primitive by calling `valueOf`.
2. `_global.valueOf` is undefined. Flash handles calls to any uncallable value by literally just having it return `undefined`. In other words, all values are implicitly callable as empty functions.
3. `undefined` is then compared to `null`. These two values *are* equal under abstract equality (`==`). Hence, `_global == null`.
For comparison, modern ECMAScript engines throw errors on calls to uncallable values; and won't attempt to use an invalid `valueOf` to coerce objects. So none of this applies to, say, standard JavaScript in your browser.
Note that host objects that do so will *not* have access to their standard representation from within member functions - you will need to extend the interface to accomodate for them. This is due to long-standing limitations with type IDs and downcasting with types that bear lifetimes - it's entirely an unsafe operation and exposing such a facility to safe Rust is unsound. However, this will at least let us separate out several things from ScriptObject that don't need to be there for the time being.
`Object::function` now returns a pre-allocated function object. You may supply it an explicit prototype to have it linked into the function object (which is why we have to return a cell).
