This array currently resides in the (writable) .data ELF segment.
If we make it const, it can be stored in the .data.rel.ro segment, which is guaranteed to be read-only and shared between processes to the extent possible.
This requires changes both in V8 and Chromium, but seems straightforward (and there does not appear to be a need for V8 to modify it, so const is intuitively correct as well).
