[File] [PATCH] Add magic for v8 JavaScript bytecode

Hello,

I would like to propose the following signature for v8 engine bytecode.
It is used to protect embedded JavaScript in some desktop applications.

As the header structure changed a lot in the past, I tried to make this
signature works with bytecode generated from many versions of v8. I ran
the following script using different versions of Docker NodeJS
container to generate a test dataset:
```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
export V8_VERSION=$(node -p process.versions.v8)
echo $V8_VERSION
echo 'console.log("Hello");' | /mnt/node_modules/.bin/bytenode --compile - > /mnt/$V8_VERSION.jsc
```

Best regards,
