url: define @@toStringTag as a data property

Even though this is not fully Web IDL spec-compliant, it is arguably the
best we can do. Following the spec would mean non-trivial performance
deterioration (10% when parsing a medium-length URL), while the current
getter behavior is not adopted by any implementer, and it causes some
spec ambiguity when the getter is called with !(this instanceof URL).

This commit adopts Chrome's behavior, and is consistent with
ECMAScript-defined classes while providing reasonable behaviors for
corner cases as well. Until the Web IDL spec is changed one way or
another, this is the way to go.
