Review request for 8023368: Instance __proto__ property should exist and be writable.

[Hannes Wallnoefer]

This looks good implementation-wise, but I think we should go all the 
way and make a writable __proto__ available by default.

The reason is that all major JS engines support this, and it's also 
defined in Annex B of the current ES6 draft[1] ("Additional ECMAScript 
features for web browsers" which is "normative but optional if the 
ECMAScript host is not a web browser").

ES6 also defines Object.setPrototypeOf ( O, proto ) in 15.2.3.19. From 
what I can see your implementation looks compatible except that it 
should return O instead of undefined.
