lib: add support for JSTransferable as a mixin
Adds a new `makeTransferable()` utility that can construct a
`JSTransferable` object that does not directly extend the
`JSTransferable` JavaScript class.

Because JavaScript does not support multiple inheritance, it is
not possible (without help) to implement a class that extends
both `JSTransferable` and, for instance, `EventTarget` without
incurring a significant additional complexity and performance
cost by making all `EventTarget` instances extend `JSTransferable`...

That is, we *don't* want:

```js
class EventTarget extends JSTransferable { ... }
```

The `makeTransferable()` allows us to create objects that are
backed internally by `JSTransferable` without having to actually
extend it by leveraging the magic of `Reflect.construct()`.

```js
const {
  JSTransferable,
  kClone,
  kDeserialize,
  kConstructor,
  makeTransferable,
} = require('internal/worker/js_transferable');

class E {
  constructor(b) {
    this.b = b;
  }
}

class F extends E {
  [kClone]() { /** ... **/ }
  [kDeserialize]() { /** ... **/ }

  static [kConstructor]() { return makeTransferable(F); }
}

const f = makeTransferable(F, 1);

f instanceof F;  // true
f instanceof E;  // true
f instanceof JSTransferable;  // false

const mc = new MessageChannel();
mc.port1.onmessage = ({ data }) => {
  data instanceof F;  // true
  data instanceof E;  // true
  data instanceof JSTransferable;  // false
};
mc.port2.postMessage(f);  // works!
```

The additional `internal/test/transfer.js` file is required for the
test because successfully deserializing transferable classes requires
that they be located in `lib/internal` for now.
