Replace __proto__ with Object.create

[tschuster]

I am not yet 100% sure if we should really do this. Especially because code like this becomes ugly:

Foo = function () {}
Foo.prototype = {
  __proto__: Bar.prototype,
  foo: 1
}
/* vs. */
Foo = function () {}
Foo.prototype = Object.create(Bar.prototype)
Foo.prototype.foo = 1;
Foo.prototy ...
...

For reference: ​__proto__ is deprecated.

But I agree that using Object.create() makes code less readable in particular when using getter/setter:

Foo = function () {};
Foo.prototype = Object.create(
  Bar.prototype,
  {
    foo:
    {
      get: function()
      {
        return this._foo;
      },
      set: function(value)
      {
        this._foo = value;
      },
      enumerable: true
    }
  }
);

There are some cases where it makes sense to use Object.create(), especially {__proto__: null}. However, wherever we use it to build up class hierarchies we should better wait for typed objects.
