Prepare gcmole.cc for the next update:
- Print possible GC locations when discovering stale/dead variables
- Make error messages less confusing for the modern V8 engineer
- Prepare gcmole to read suspects.allowlist instead of .whitelist
- Use more readable variable names
- Only log non-found types with --verbose
- Change the currently unusued gccauses format in gcmole.py and
support loading it back in gcmole.cc
- Implemented first basic gc call-chain printing (disabled by default)
GCmole packaging:
- Add debug mode to bootstrap.sh build script
- Update gcmole.py run instructions in bootstrap.sh and package.sh

Make sure gcmole detects issue in DisallowGarbageCollection scopes.
DisallowGarbageCollection is widely used in the codebase to document
code that doesn't allocate. However, this has the rather unexpected
side-effect that gcmole is not run when such a scope is active.
This CL changes the default behavior of gcmole to run even with
DisallowGarbageCollection scopes present. This will give us the best
results of both worlds, dynamic checks by the fuzzer, and static
analysis by gcmole.
To allow crazy local raw pointer operations there is a new
DisableGCMole scope that explicitly disables gcmole.

This CL ensures we care only about our internal pointer types and not
about raw C++ pointers, because normally special care is taken when
storing raw pointers to the managed heap. Furthermore, checking for raw
pointers produces too many false positives in the dead variable
analysis.

Since this produces a few false positives, also implemented a whitelist
mechanism to not report them.
Also, add a couple of tests and implemented automated testing against
test-expectations file.

This is a minimalistic script usable for creating packages of gcmole
together with the corresponding Clang. Such packages are used on V8's
infrastructure.

This updates the existing bootstrap.sh script for gcmole to work against
LLVM and Clang version 8.0 releases. This is a follow-up to a previous
change which adapted the gcmole plugin to compile against those same
versions.

After introducing the new pointer-containing Object class in V8 (see
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_w49sakC1XM1OptjTurBDqO86NE16FH8LwbeUAtrbCo/edit),
gcmole stopped finding errorneous usage of raw pointers in functions that could
trigger GC. This CL modifies the heuristics of the tool to classify Object and
MaybeObject instances as raw pointers, thus giving back the missing warnings.
Updated the gcmole implementation to support modern llvm (tested with llvm 8.0)
for which additional support for MaterializeTemporaryExpr, ExprWithCleanups and
UnaryExprOrTypeTraitExpr was needed.
Basic tests are added to make it harder to introduce such errors without
noticing in the future.
This version gives a lot of false positives when ran on the whole project, see
