RethinkDB fork of Quickjspp

This is forked from https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp , a fork of Fabrice Bellard's QuickJS that adds Windows support and other extras.

The purpose of this branch is for inclusion into RethinkDB as its JavaScript engine, so that RethinkDB's Windows release can include the r.js command.

It makes the following changes, relative to quickjspp:

• This omits some of the c-smile commits relating to JSX and storage. The purpose of this is to reduce the size of the changeset relative to Bellard's QuickJS.

• This applies some of Bellard's latest changes, at https://github.com/bellard/quickjs , that were made after the most recent release, 2021-03-27. (This includes a bugfix commit.)

• It has some other minor changes.
