worker: make MessagePort constructor non-callable

Refactor the C++ code for creating `MessagePort`s to skip calling the
constructor and instead directly instantiating the `InstanceTemplate`,
and always throw an error from the `MessagePort` constructor.

This aligns behaviour with the web, and creating single `MessagePort`s
does not make sense anyway.
