Bump Jint from 4.9.3 to 4.10.0

[dependabot]

Updated Jint from 4.9.3 to 4.10.0.

Release notes

Sourced from Jint's releases.

4.10.0

Overview

Jint 4.10.0 is a performance- and memory-focused release. The bulk of this cycle went into making the interpreter run faster and allocate less, with additional work on CLR interop speed and diagnostics, plus a handful of correctness and spec-compliance fixes.

If you execute the same scripts repeatedly, run interop-heavy workloads, or care about GC pressure, this release should give you a meaningful, no-code-changes-required speedup.

Highlights

Interpreter performance

• New fast paths for object method calls (#​2510), computed dense-array reads/writes (#​2511), and global variable / x++ updates via version-gated inline caches (#​2507, #​2514).
• Function-call overhead reduced: function-local numbers stored unboxed in environment slots (#​2499), FunctionDeclarationInstantiation skipped entirely when there's nothing to do (#​2502), lazy constructor .prototype creation (#​2512), and no more per-call closure allocation in EvaluateBody (#​2534).
• A compilation cache for repeated eval and new Function sources (#​2503), and a fix for prepared scripts that were running slower than re-parsed source (#​2504).
• Process-wide cache of compiled regex adaptations (#​2530) and a faster String.prototype.split with a string separator (#​2519).

Reduced allocations & memory footprint

• Zero-copy views returned from large slice / substring / substr results, extended to bounded-waste substrings (#​2506, #​2518).
• A pooled accumulator slashes intermediate allocations in array-building built-ins, extended to RegExp split, Iterator.toArray, and object enumeration (#​2524, #​2526).
• Pooled for-loop iteration environments (#​2515), preserved dictionary capacity across pooled function-environment reuse (#​2528), and a raised fixed-slot environment cap (16 → 24 bindings) (#​2529).
• Smaller runtime objects: JsDate shrunk by 8 bytes (#​2535) and ObjectInstance slimmed by relocating _privateElements to a per-engine weak table (#​2536).

CLR interop

• Lower method-dispatch overhead and fewer allocations (#​2520), no per-access parameter-array allocation in indexer reads (#​2521), and an opt-in bounded cache for recently wrapped CLR objects (#​2522).
• Customizable reported property keys for CLR objects, enabling for..in over wrapped objects (#​2516).
• Richer interop resolution errors that include the target type, arguments, and candidate signatures — gated behind an opt-in option, with the CLR type exposed to the host (#​2525, #​2527).

Correctness & spec compliance

• Fixed completion value being clobbered by a re-entrant Evaluate() during module execution (#​2493).
• Fixed runtime type-member writes for CLR wrappers (#​2496) and DefaultTypeConverter.Convert bypassing subclass TryConvert overrides (#​2498).
• Fixed integer fast-path overflows and compound-assignment spec divergences (#​2497).
• Updated the Test262 suite and fixed promise-combinator handling of non-thenables (#​2500).
