ECMAScript compatibility tracking issue

[teppeis]

This is a tracking issue for failed compat-table tests with links to each input, output, error and related issue (updated with v20200426).

These items are filtered out as "won't fix":

• new Function("features"): hard to implement
• Proxy: impossible to implement
• subclassing for built-ins: impossible to implement (except for Promise)
• typed arrays: won't fix? (IE11 has typed array classes but doesn't have Array methods, should be fixed?), Typed arrays not shimmed when using ECMASCRIPT3 #3064
• shared memory and atomics (ES2017): impossible to implement
