Fixes #6006.

TextMeasurement's width cache was a plain object, so looking up _cache["toString"] returned Object.prototype.toString instead of undefined. getFittedText treated that function as a cached width, which collapsed the truncation algorithm and produced just "…".

This affected JS frames whose names collide with Object.prototype: toString, hasOwnProperty, valueOf, constructor, isPrototypeOf, propertyIsEnumerable, toLocaleString, proto. Visible in the flame graph, stack chart, marker chart, and js-tracer canvases.

Switching the cache to a Map solves this problem.

LGTM! This looks as easy to unit test, however, I could not find any. For example, smth like getTextWidth("toString") would be sufficient I guess.

Yeah, I wanted to add a test first too, but couldn't find any test to piggyback off of. Then I let claude write some and I didn't like because it was too long 😄 I think it's fine as this is very niche.
