Implement ES2021 WeakRef with symbols-as-weakmap-keys support

- Add NativeWeakRef class implementing ES2021 WeakRef specification
- Support for unregistered symbols as weak targets (ES2023 feature)
- Correctly reject registered symbols (Symbol.for())
- Use Java WeakReference for garbage collection semantics
- Add comprehensive unit tests (29/29 passing, 100% success)
- Register WeakRef constructor in ES6+ language mode
- Add error messages for invalid WeakRef targets
- Auto-generate test262.properties with proper format
- Fix Object.seal test for WeakRef (seal-weakref.js now passes)
- WeakRef passes 25/29 test262 tests (86.21% success rate)

WeakRef allows holding weak references to objects without preventing
their garbage collection, useful for caches and memory-sensitive code.

Key features:
- new WeakRef(target) constructor validates target can be held weakly
- deref() method returns referenced object or undefined if collected
- Follows ES2021 CanBeHeldWeakly abstract operation specification
- Compatible with ES2023 symbols-as-weakmap-keys proposal

Failing test262 tests are related to cross-realm prototype handling and
NewTarget customization, which are advanced edge cases that don't affect
core WeakRef functionality.
