worker: implement MessagePort and MessageChannel
Implement `MessagePort` and `MessageChannel` along the lines of the DOM classes of the same names. `MessagePort`s initially support transferring only `ArrayBuffer`s. Thanks to Stephen Belanger for reviewing this change in its original form, to Benjamin Gruenbaum for reviewing the added tests in their original form, and to Olivia Hugger for reviewing the documentation in its original form.

7+
## Class: MessageChannel
8+
<!-- YAML
9+
added: REPLACEME
10+
-->
11+
12+
Instances of the `worker.MessageChannel` class represent an asynchronous,
13+
two-way communications channel.
14+
The `MessageChannel` has no methods of its own. `new MessageChannel()`
15+
yields an object with `port1` and `port2` properties, which refer to linked
16+
[`MessagePort`][] instances.
17+
18+
```js
19+
const { MessageChannel } = require('worker');
20+
21+
const { port1, port2 } = new MessageChannel();
22+
port1.on('message', (message) => console.log('received', message));
23+
port2.postMessage({ foo: 'bar' });
24+
// prints: received { foo: 'bar' }
25+
```
26+
27+
## Class: MessagePort
28+
<!-- YAML
29+
added: REPLACEME
30+
-->
31+
32+
* Extends: {EventEmitter}
33+
34+
Instances of the `worker.MessagePort` class represent one end of an
35+
asynchronous, two-way communications channel. It can be used to transfer
36+
structured data, memory regions and other `MessagePort`s between different
37+
[`Worker`][]s.
38+
39+
With the exception of `MessagePort`s being [`EventEmitter`][]s rather
40+
than `EventTarget`s, this implementation matches [browser `MessagePort`][]s.
41+
42+
### Event: 'close'
43+
<!-- YAML
44+
added: REPLACEME
45+
-->
46+
47+
The `'close'` event is emitted once either side of the channel has been
48+
disconnected.
49+
50+
### Event: 'message'
51+
<!-- YAML
52+
added: REPLACEME
53+
-->
54+
55+
* `value` {any} The transmitted value
56+
57+
The `'message'` event is emitted for any incoming message, containing the cloned
58+
input of [`port.postMessage()`][].
59+
60+
Listeners on this event will receive a clone of the `value` parameter as passed
61+
to `postMessage()` and no further arguments.
62+
63+
### port.close()
64+
<!-- YAML
65+
added: REPLACEME
66+
-->
67+
68+
Disables further sending of messages on either side of the connection.
69+
This method can be called once you know that no further communication
70+
will happen over this `MessagePort`.
71+
72+
### port.postMessage(value[, transferList])
73+
<!-- YAML
74+
added: REPLACEME
75+
-->
76+
77+
* `value` {any}
78+
* `transferList` {Object[]}
79+
80+
Sends a JavaScript value to the receiving side of this channel.
81+
`value` will be transferred in a way which is compatible with
82+
the [HTML structured clone algorithm][]. In particular, it may contain circular
83+
references and objects like typed arrays that the `JSON` API is not able
84+
to stringify.
85+
86+
`transferList` may be a list of `ArrayBuffer` objects.
87+
After transferring, they will not be usable on the sending side of the channel
88+
anymore (even if they are not contained in `value`).
89+
90+
`value` may still contain `ArrayBuffer` instances that are not in
91+
`transferList`; in that case, the underlying memory is copied rather than moved.
92+
93+
For more information on the serialization and deserialization mechanisms
94+
behind this API, see the [serialization API of the `v8` module][v8.serdes].
95+
96+
Because the object cloning uses the structured clone algorithm,
97+
non-enumerable properties, property accessors, and object prototypes are
98+
not preserved. In particular, [`Buffer`][] objects will be read as
99+
plain [`Uint8Array`][]s on the receiving side.
100+
101+
The message object will be cloned immediately, and can be modified after
102+
posting without having side effects.
103+
104+
### port.ref()
105+
<!-- YAML
106+
added: REPLACEME
107+
-->
108+
109+
Opposite of `unref()`. Calling `ref()` on a previously `unref()`ed port will
110+
*not* let the program exit if it's the only active handle left (the default
111+
behavior). If the port is `ref()`ed, calling `ref()` again will have no effect.
112+
113+
If listeners are attached or removed using `.on('message')`, the port will
114+
be `ref()`ed and `unref()`ed automatically depending on whether
115+
listeners for the event exist.
116+
117+
### port.start()
118+
<!-- YAML
119+
added: REPLACEME
120+
-->
121+
122+
Starts receiving messages on this `MessagePort`. When using this port
123+
as an event emitter, this will be called automatically once `'message'`
124+
listeners are attached.
125+
126+
### port.unref()
127+
<!-- YAML
128+
added: REPLACEME
129+
-->
130+
131+
Calling `unref()` on a port will allow the thread to exit if this is the only
132+
active handle in the event system. If the port is already `unref()`ed calling
133+
`unref()` again will have no effect.
134+
135+
If listeners are attached or removed using `.on('message')`, the port will
136+
be `ref()`ed and `unref()`ed automatically depending on whether
137+
listeners for the event exist.
