src: generate default snapshot with --predictable

To improve determinism of snapshot generation, add --predictable
to the V8 flags used to initialize a process launched to generate
snapshot. Also add a kGeneratePredictableSnapshot flag
to ProcessInitializationFlags for this and moves the configuration
of these flags into node::InitializeOncePerProcess() so that
it can be shared by embedders.
