This PR adds two additional global functions provided by JScript in Windows Script Host and specified by Microsoft:

CollectGarbage is a function provided by JScript on the global object which triggers the garbage collector. It is required to work around ActiveX object retention issues in some situations.
RuntimeObject is a function provided by JScript on the global object for enumerating functions and variables defined in the global scope.

I can confirm both variables are present on both Windows 7 and 10.

Thanks,
Kevin
