Introducing a function object's flag indicating whether Arguments object should be instantiated upon call of the function.

 The Arguments object is supposed to be unnecessary if function's code:
  - doesn't reference 'arguments' identifier;
  - doesn't reference 'eval' identifier (so, it doesn't perform direct call to eval).
