Description

Check heap exo state to be passable and match any stateShape provided. Implements the checks by wrapping the endo defineExo functions to replace their init function with one that creates state accessors similar to the ones created by liveslots.

This likely should move into Endo itself

Security Considerations

Enforces previously ignored invariants of exos

Scaling Considerations

Similar to liveslots, exo classes (and kits) share a prototype object. If a state shape is provided, the accessors are created on that prototype.

To avoid WeakMap costs, the state when using a shape uses a private field to hold the data.

Documentation Considerations

This is a breaking change in the sense that some stated invariants of exo / zone were not actually enforced. Some tests seemed to be relying on this lack of enforcement.

Testing Considerations

Trivial updates of breaking tests

TODO: add thorough checking of exo state accessors

Verify that the checks done here are consistent with the checks done by liveslots. In particular an exo without state shape may not accept state values that are not first explicitly hardened?

Upgrade Considerations

This updates the code of @agoric/base-zone package. While this package is depended on by a broad number of other packages, either directly or transitively through @agoric/zone, heap zones are only part of contract bundles, and not part of liveslots or zcf (TODO: check this).

A contract has to opt-in to this breaking change by using a new version of @agoric/base-zone when updating. Since only heap state is affected, there is no particular risk regarding upgrading beyond what the package would do to update its dependencies.

best reviewed by ignoring white space

## Description
After implementing a change to enforce that heap exo are passable, I found that some things currently stored in heap exos, mostly in tests, are not actually passable. Almost all of them are remotable like objects not marked as `Far`, usually related to storage nodes.

While I plan on moving the implementation of the checks into endo instead of landing it in agoric-sdk first, I figured we should already fix the issues found.

### Security Considerations
None

### Scaling Considerations
None

### Documentation Considerations
None

### Testing Considerations
See #10170 for passing tests with checks enabled

### Upgrade Considerations
As it's a heap zone change, cross upgrade behavior is not involved. In the future any code using a stricter heap zone would need to comply. However heaps zones are used as packages bundled by the contract, and are not provided by liveslots or zcf, so there is no compatibility risk.

Yes. I would prefer that you do it this way from the outset. If you then want to make it available to agoric-sdk before the next round of endo sync, do that with an agoric-sdk patch of endo, as we’ve done on other such occasions.
