It turns out that using `v8::internal::MaybeObject` was, although
harmless, not appropriate here, because this function does not deal
deal with (potentially) weak handles.
* Merged all handle type implementations into one file ('handle.h').
* Made it so that `Global` handles cannot be empty.
* Renamed the `AsHandle` trait to `Handle`, and made it more generally
useful.
* Simplified how `PartialEq` is implemented for V8 heap objects and/or
the `Local`/`Global` handles that reference them.
Local handles never need to be mutable. This patch also rounds up the
last few places where we were still asking the user to pass an `&mut T`
to an API method.
According to v8.h, "the returned handle is valid until this TryCatch
block has been destroyed". This is incorrect, as can be demonstrated
with the test below. In practice the return value lives no longer and
no shorter than the active HandleScope at the time these methods are
called. An issue has been opened about this in the V8 bug tracker:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=10537.
```rust
fn try_catch_bad_lifetimes() {
let _setup_guard = setup();
let mut isolate = v8::Isolate::new(Default::default());

let scope = hs.enter();
let context = v8::Context::new(scope);
let mut cs = v8::ContextScope::new(scope, context);
let scope = cs.enter();
let caught_msg_2 = {
let mut try_catch = v8::TryCatch::new(scope);
let try_catch = try_catch.enter();
let caught_msg_1 = {
let mut hs = v8::HandleScope::new(scope);
let scope = hs.enter();
// Throw exception #1.
let msg_1 = v8::String::new(scope, "BOOM!").unwrap();
let exc_1 = v8::Exception::type_error(scope, msg_1);

// Catch exception #1.
let caught_msg_1 = try_catch.message().unwrap();
let caught_str_1 =
caught_msg_1.get(scope).to_rust_string_lossy(scope);
assert!(caught_str_1.contains("BOOM"));
// Move `caught_msg_1` out of the HandleScope it was created in.
// The borrow checker allows this because `caught_msg_1`'s
// lifetime is contrained to not outlive the TryCatch, but it is
// allowed to outlive the HandleScope that was active when the
// exception was caught.

};
// Next line crashes.
