(The first commit is cleanup from #27294, with which this is going to have conflicts anyway…)

When a MessagePort connected to another MessagePort closes, the
latter MessagePort will be closed as well. Until now, this is done
by testing whether the ports are still entangled after processing
messages. This leaves open a race condition window in which messages
sent just before the closure can be lost when timing is unfortunate.
(A description of the timing is in the test file.)

This can be addressed by using a special message instead, which is
the last message received by a MessagePort. This way, all previously
sent messages are processed first.

Fixes: #22762

Checklist
  • make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes
  • tests and/or benchmarks are included
  • commit message follows commit guidelines

This is a property of the native object associated with the
`MessagePort`, not something that should be set on the
conceptual `MessagePort` that may be transferred around.
