Summary: Implement `is` operator

Bugs Fixed:
LPP-3632 'Implement `is` operator'

Technical Reviewer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (pending)
QA Reviewer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (pending)
Doc Reviewer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (pending)

Documentation:
We now implement the ECMAScript 4 `is` operator

Details:
    lztest-class-impl: Use modern syntax, verify that `is` is
    equivalent to `instanceof` and works properly for mixins.

    Class: add runtime support for `is` operator on mixins

    JavascriptGenerator, CodeGenerator, ParseTreePrinter, Parser:  Add
    support for `is` operator, which in JS1 runtimes is approximated
    as:  a is b => b['$lzsc$isa'] ? b.$lzsc$isa(a) : (a instanceof b),
    relying on the runtime support in Class for $lzsc$isa.

    ASTVisitor: remove the unused visitBinaryExpression

Tests:
    Amended class-impl test to test that `is` is equivalent to
    `instanceof` for classes and works properly for mixins.
