v8,src: expose statistics about heap spaces

Provide means to inspect information about the separate heap spaces
via a callable API. This is helpful to analyze memory issues.

+## getHeapSpaceStatistics()
+
+Returns statistics about the V8 heap spaces, i.e. the segments which make up
+the V8 heap. Order of heap spaces nor availability of a heap space can be
+guaranteed as the statistics are provided via the V8 `GetHeapSpaceStatistics`
+function.
