feature detection in the test environment

Previously it was easy to miss testing generators, because of omitting the `--harmony` flag; even `make full` skipped testing generators.
This commit introduces detecting support for certain syntax oriented language features, before running tests.
We can also assume using Node.js v4 or higher, so generator support is implied.
