Related to #4186.
Some notable changes:
- The term 'Error' now strictly refers to native Error objects defined in
the ECMA standard, which are ordinary objects. All other uses of
'error' or 'error reference' where the term refers to a thrown value is
now called 'exception'.
- Simplified the naming scheme of many String API functions. These functions
will now also take an 'encoding' argument to specify the desired
encoding in which to operate.
- Removed the substring-copy-to-buffer functions. These functions
behaved awkwardly, as they use character index to specify the
start/end positions, and were mostly used incorrectly with byte
offsets instead. The functionality can still be replicated with
other functions if necessary.
- String-to-buffer functions will no longer fail if the buffer is not
sufficiently large, the string will instead be cropped.
- Fixed the usage of the '_sz' prefix in many API functions. The term
'sz' means zero-terminated string in hungarian notation, this was
used incorrectly in many cases.
- Renamed most of the public API functions to have shorter, more on-point
names, rather than the often too long descriptive names. Functions are now
also grouped by the type of value they operate on, where this makes
sense.

Furthermore reduce memory consumption when only
one external pointer is assigned to an object.

This PR is a general cleanup for garbage collection and memory
allocation code paths.
Changes:
* Removed an unnecesary local variable from 'ecma_gc_mark'.
* Refactored 'ecma_gc_run' to have an implicit list head during
iteration, which results in one less condition in the loops,
and changed the loops to use compressed pointers to reduce the
overall amount of compression/decompression.
* Renamed 'jmem_free_unused_memory_severity_t' to 'jmem_pressure_t',
and added additional values.
* Removed 'jmem_free_unused_memory_callback', instead
'ecma_free_unused_memory' is now called directly.
* Reworked 'ecma_free_unused_memory' to handle all code paths related
to 'jmem_pressure_t', and moved all relevant code paths into this
function. This simplifies the code paths in other places.
* Reworked 'jmem_heap_gc_and_alloc_block' to be more streamlined.
* Changed mem-stats to not report unused pool chunks as allocated
memory.
* Created an allocator internal API for allocating/freeing memory blocks
that are not reported as used memory in mem-stats.
* Removed iteration statistics for the jerry allocator from mem-stats,
as they don't provide any actually useful information.
