JavaScript: the test262 runner reports a failed assertion's message

The harness's assert.js formats failure messages with the global String, which the interpreter does not provide yet, so the four failing runs reported "ReferenceError: String is not defined". The runner now defines a stand-in that converts with +, and the failures name the assertion (the completion value tests expect undefined where ECMA-262 5.1 section 12.6.3 gives 4).
