Previously, calling `vm.createContext(o)` repeatedly on the same `o` would cause new C++ `ContextifyContext`s to be created and stored on `o`, while the previous resident went off into leaked-memory limbo. Now, repeatedly trying to contextify a sandbox will do nothing after the first time. To detect this, an independently-useful `vm.isContext(sandbox)` export was added.
