Fixes: #67176

V8 strongly caches instantiations of low-serial FunctionTemplates, which pinned Fast API functions and, through them, their DynamicLibrary and trampoline.

FunctionTemplate::New() has no cache opt-out, so this adds an ObjectTemplate property to make these templates uncacheable, then deletes it from the new function.
