This will need format changes for ArrayBuffer, TypedArray, DataView objects because it stores (some) length values as 32-bit integers. We still need to support reading the current format, so we also have to add tests for that.

I wrote some patches for this a few months ago that I just have to clean up.

This ensures we can still read this after we add the new V3 types.

Renames SCTAG_ARRAY_BUFFER_OBJECT to SCTAG_ARRAY_BUFFER_OBJECT_V2 and adds a new
SCTAG_ARRAY_BUFFER_OBJECT that encodes the length as 64-bit value.

Depends on D101734

Instead of storing the length in the 32-bit data and the array type separately as
64-bit value, the new version just switches those.

Depends on D101735

There are no backwards-compatibility concerns because SABs are only cloned within
the same process (checked in writeSharedArrayBuffer).

Depends on D101737

The length is encoded as 64-bit value (extraData) and used within the same process.

Depends on D101738

This prevents truncation in the structured clone code.

Depends on D101739
