Add tests for change in Reference Records

These tests support the following normative change

"Normative: Allow null or undefined in Reference Records"
tc39/ecma262#2267

The tests concerning the `delete` operator increase coverage to verify
behavior which, though related, is not altered by the normative change.
These tests are intended to guard against regressions as engines
implement the new semantics.
