Now that we are able to compact map space, we can also get rid of the
map space and allocate maps in the old space instead. This CL introduces
a FLAG_map_space for enabling/disabling the map space but the map space
remains enabled by default for now.
Without a separate space for maps, the GC can't prevent relocation of
maps anymore. Therefore this CL always allows compaction of maps when
running without a map space. Rename flag to --compact-maps to better fit
this scenario.
mkgrokdump and debug_helper also need to be updated to look for maps
also in the old space. The map space is now optional.

Bill kindly pointed out to me that v8windbg was not handling bit_field2
correctly. The issue was that the constexpr type for ElementsKind was,
somewhat unsurprisingly, "ElementsKind", but v8windbg expected a fully-
qualified type name like "v8::internal::ElementsKind". This change
addresses the problem in two ways:
1. Update v8windbg's type resolution logic to resolve type names as if
they were used in the v8::internal namespace. This makes it more
consistent with how those type names are used in other generated
Torque code, reducing surprises and the number of times we have to
write `v8::internal::` in .tq files.
2. Add compile-time verification that any constexpr type name used as a
string in class-debug-readers-tq.cc can also resolve as a type name.

The tests were already passing because they happened to use objects
allocated in the lower half of the heap reservation, but this small
change should make behavior more consistent.

v8_debug_helper attempts to flag known object pointers when it can
recognize them, even if the memory pointed to is not available in the
crash dump. In ptr-compr builds, the first pages of the map space,
read-only space, and old space are always at the same offsets within the
heap reservation region, so we can more easily detect known objects.

This is a reland of 517ab73fd7
Updates since original: now compressed pointers passed to the function
GetObjectProperties are required to be sign-extended. Previously, the
function allowed zero-extended values, but that led to ambiguity on
pointers like 0x88044919: is it compressed or is the heap range actually
centered on 0x100000000?

This change begins to implement the functionality described in
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1evHnb1uLlSbvHAAsmOXyc25x3uh1DjgNa8u1RHvwVhk/edit#
for investigating V8 state in crash dumps.
This change adds a new library, v8_debug_helper, for providing platform-
agnostic assistance with postmortem debugging. This library can be used
by extensions built for debuggers such as WinDbg or lldb. Its public API
is described by debug-helper.h; currently the only method it exposes is
GetObjectProperties, but we'd like to add more functionality over time.
The API surface is restricted to plain C-style structs and pointers, so
that it's easy to link from a debugger extension built with a different
toolchain.
This change also adds a new cctest file to exercise some basic
interaction with the new library.
The API function GetObjectProperties takes an object pointer (which
could be compressed, or weak, or a SMI), and returns a string
description of the object and a list of properties the object contains.
For now, the list of properties is entirely based on Torque object
definitions, but we expect to add custom properties in future updates so
that it can be easier to make sense of complex data structures such as
dictionaries.
GetObjectProperties does several things that are intended to generate
somewhat useful results even in cases where memory may be corrupt or
unavailable:
- The caller may optionally provide a type string which will be used if
the memory for the object's Map is inaccessible.
- All object pointers are compared against the list of known objects
generated by mkgrokdump. The caller may optionally provide the
pointers for the first pages of various heap spaces, to avoid spurious
matches. If those pointers are not provided, then any matches are
prefixed with "maybe" in the resulting description string, such as
"maybe UndefinedValue (0x4288000341 <Oddball>)".
