The harness file `Test262Error.js` has not contained executable code since it
was introduced in this project [1]. The definition of the `Test262Error`
function has consistently been located in the `sta.js` harness file which test
runners are expected to inject into the test environment.
Remove the file and all references to it.

For asynchronous tests, the contract between test file and test runner
is implicit: runners are expected to inspect the source code for
references to a global `$DONE` identifier.
Promote a more explicit contract between test file and test runner by
introducing a new frontmatter "tag", `async`. This brings asynchronous
test configuration in-line with other configuration mechanisms and also
provides a more natural means of test filtering.
The modifications to test files was made programatically using the
`grep` and `sed` utilities:
$ grep "\$DONE" test/ -r --files-with-match --null | \
xargs -0 sed -i 's/^\(flags:\s*\)\[/\1[async, /g'
$ grep "\$DONE" test/ -rl --null | \
xargs -0 grep -E '^flags:' --files-without-match --null | \
xargs -0 sed -i 's/^---\*\//flags: [async]\n---*\//'
Assert that the `constructor` property of the "this" value of
`Promise.prototype.then` is accessed exactly once. This guards against
implementations where repeated access is used instead of reference
passing (possibly motivated by convenience).
Repeated access of this kind was demonstrated by V8's implementation of
the specification:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=4539
Add tests that assert behavior when a Promise is resolved with another
Promise whose `then` method has been overridden. Because all objects
with a `then` method are treated equivalently, the presence of a
[[PromiseState]] internal slot should have no effect on program
behavior.
These tests guard against a faulty optimization originally implemented
in V8:

Replace a ES2015 test where calling the TypedArray constructor with
a floating number triggered a RangeError. Within the ES2016 specs,
the same call will trigger a TypeError, as the result for
`SameValue(NewTarget, here)` will be checked before.
Remove files that tested both PerformPromiseThen and
PromiseResolveFunction in favor of new tests that test
PromiseResolveFunction more directly and completely.
