(qua last week's TC39)
Specifically:
- Install Symbol constructor function on the global object.
- Adjust code generation for typeof.
- Remove IsSymbol built-in, IS_SYMBOL macro now defined using typeof.
- Remove hack that allowed symbols as constructor results, and some other special cases.
- Remove symbol_delegate and GetDelegate function.
- Extend ToBoolean stub to handle symbols.
- Extend ToNumber to return NaN on symbols.
- Poison symbol's toString function, and thereby ToString on symbols.

Two new methods are added to allow embedders to determine that execution
should be resumed at a particular point in the stack without being forced
to unwind all JS frames.
* V8::CancelTerminateExecution() -- When execution is terminated via a call
to V8::TerminateExecution(), this method can be called to clear the
termination exception so that the engine can continue to be used.
* TryCatch::HasTerminated() -- When a TryCatch has caught a termination
exception, HasTerminated() will return true to indicate it is valid to
call V8::ResumeExecution() if desired.
A test case is added to cctest/test-thread-termination.cc.

Added instance method on v8::Isolate for retrieving instance of v8::HeapProfiler for that isolate. All static methods of v8::HeapProfiler are deprecated, corresponding instance methods are added to v8::HeapProfiler.
All static methods on v8::internal::HeapProfiler were converted into instance ones.

CPU profiler API is extended with methods that allow to retrieve individual samples from profile. Each sample is presented as a pointer to a node in the top-down profile tree. The samples will let us tie JS performance to time.

I tried to limit the use of v8::Isolate::GetCurrent() and v8::internal::Isolate::Current() as much as possible, but sometimes this would have involved restructuring tests quite a bit, which is better left for a separate CL.

Prevously v8 put a link to each context variable into a function where
the variable is visible.
Because of that if there are N functions sharing a context having M variables
then N*M links were created for the snapshot.
The fix makes v8 to put the links into the context object.

The new instance type 'Symbol' represents ES6 symbols (a.k.a. private/unique names). Currently, symbols are simple data objects that only carry a hash code, random-generated upon allocation.
The new type 'Name' now serves as the common super class for strings and symbols, and is supposed to represent property names. We will eventually migrate APIs from String to Name for the standard key type.
Strings and symbols share the same hash field representation, via the Name class. This way, we should be able to use the same code paths for symbols and internalized strings in most cases. Also, Symbol's instance type code is allocated adjacent to internalized string codes in the enum, allowing a simple range check for the common case.

in preparation of the introduction of ES6 'symbols' (aka private/unique names).
The SymbolTable became the StringTable. I also made sure to adapt all comments. The only remaining use of the term "symbol" (other than unrelated uses in the parser and such) is now 'NewSymbol' in the API and the 'V8.KeyedLoadGenericSymbol' counter, changing which might break embedders.
The one functional change in this CL is that I removed the former 'empty_string' constant, since it is redundant given the 'empty_symbol' constant that we also had (and both were used inconsistently).

This includes:
* adding the CODE_ADD_LINE_POS_INFO, CODE_START_LINE_INFO_RECORDING, CODE_END_LINE_INFO_RECORDING event and the corresponding functionality.
* adding the JITCodeLineInfo struct to record the code line info. I added this definition because Danno mentioned that "we'd like to cleanup and decouple the external debugging functionality"
* some other small changes.

Note that leaving out the Isolate parameter previously had a very special
meaning, namely "use the *default* Isolate", i.e. the one magically created at
program initialization time. All other API entries use the meaning "current
Isolate", which is different in a multi-threaded setting and confusing.
Temporarily disabled deprecations until Chrome is ready.

Removed the following deprecated functions:
* Object::GetPointerFromInternalField
* Object::SetPointerInInternalField
* External::Wrap
* External::Unwrap
* Context::GetData
* Context::SetData
They have been deprecated in the 3.15 branch and are not used by Chrome anymore.
Furthermore, judging from bug reports and email threads, embedders like node.js
and others are already using 3.15, too. All removed API entries can be emulated
by a one-liner, so adapting should not be hard for anybody.
We want to introduce more deprecations soon, but to keep things simple and avoid
having old and not-so-old deprecations in v8.h, the 3.15 deprecations are now
removed.
In general, the strategy of keeping deprecated things for one stable release and
then removing them seems to be a good compromise between a maintenance nightmare
and annoying external embedders. :-)
