Andrew Clark 71f7255937 [Flight] Server References for arbitrary object types (#37636)
Added behind a new experimental flag, `enableFlightObjectReferences`.

Extends Server References so that a reference can point to an object,
not just a function. An object is registered with a new API,
`registerServerObjectReference`, which tags it with its module id the
same way `registerServerReference` tags a Server Function.

The client receives an opaque handle: reading a property or calling it
throws, similar to how Temporary References work inside Server
Functions. The only thing the client can do with the handle is pass it
back to the server via a Server Function, where it resolves through the
server manifest.

The motivating use case is letting a framework pass request-scoped
values by reference, so it can omit them from the request body. For
example, a framework could model `searchParams` as a module export whose
value resolves from the current request. This avoids encoding the search
params twice (they already appear in the request URL) but it also makes
the responses more cacheable: if the search params don't appear
elsewhere in the body, then a response cache can omit them from its
cache key.

This initial PR only exposes the new API in the Turbopack bindings. We
will port it to the other bundler configs if the experiment advances.
