By default, it is not possible to trigger at V8 GC programatically.
Use of such an API is tricky and most of the time you will end up
slowing down instead of helping. For that reason, we have avoided
exposing GC through the API.
We do have a flag in V8 called expose-gc that adds a JavaScript gc()
method when set.
