09b1574baa Make ElementsAccessors more tolerant of varying backing store types 
This avoids bogus calls to Fixed*Array::cast() when FastElements-backed objects are empty (and thus backed by empty_fixed_array).

e4be39edef Properly handle-ify method calls to map() and GetLocalElementAccessorPair() 
These are likely causing some of the flaky crashes in Object.observe code. I've reorganized some of the code to minimize the number of necessary calls to map() (by saving the result of map()->is_observed() in a local bool).

Also move down an unnecessarily early call to Uint32ToString when sending an element deletion notification.

d8922dd6f4 Move assertion about stopped marking up (again). 
Weak persistent handle callbacks might trigger nested GCs that in turn
can cause marking to be restarted. The assertion needs to hold before
firing callbacks only.

ce05280bfc Get rid of static module allocation, do it in code. 
Modules now have their own local scope, represented by their own context.
Module instance objects have an accessor for every export that forwards
access to the respective slot from the module's context. (Exports that are
modules themselves, however, are simple data properties.)

All modules have a _hosting_ scope/context, which (currently) is the
(innermost) enclosing global scope. To deal with recursion, nested modules
are hosted by the same scope as global ones.

For every (global or nested) module literal, the hosting context has an
internal slot that points directly to the respective module context. This
enables quick access to (statically resolved) module members by 2-dimensional
access through the hosting context. For example,

  module A {
    let x;
    module B { let y; }
  }
  module C { let z; }

allocates contexts as follows:

[header| .A | .B | .C | A | C ]  (global)
          |    |    |
          |    |    +-- [header| z ]  (module)
          |    |
          |    +------- [header| y ]  (module)
          |
          +------------ [header| x | B ]  (module)

Here, .A, .B, .C are the internal slots pointing to the hosted module
contexts, whereas A, B, C hold the actual instance objects (note that every
module context also points to the respective instance object through its
extension slot in the header).

To deal with arbitrary recursion and aliases between modules,
they are created and initialized in several stages. Each stage applies to
all modules in the hosting global scope, including nested ones.

1. Allocate: for each module _literal_, allocate the module contexts and
   respective instance object and wire them up. This happens in the
   PushModuleContext runtime function, as generated by AllocateModules
   (invoked by VisitDeclarations in the hosting scope).

2. Bind: for each module _declaration_ (i.e. literals as well as aliases),
   assign the respective instance object to respective local variables. This
   happens in VisitModuleDeclaration, and uses the instance objects created
   in the previous stage.
   For each module _literal_, this phase also constructs a module descriptor
   for the next stage. This happens in VisitModuleLiteral.

3. Populate: invoke the DeclareModules runtime function to populate each
   _instance_ object with accessors for it exports. This is generated by
   DeclareModules (invoked by VisitDeclarations in the hosting scope again),
   and uses the descriptors generated in the previous stage.

4. Initialize: execute the module bodies (and other code) in sequence. This
   happens by the separate statements generated for module bodies. To reenter
   the module scopes properly, the parser inserted ModuleStatements.

c8bc4db52f Enable deprecations. 
In addition, use a more common style in the preprocessor condition, making
e.g. '-DV8_ENABLE_DEPRECATIONS=0' do the expected thing. Removed a useles

This is a straight rename:

IsAsciiRepresentation -> IsOneByteRepresentation
IsAsciiRepresentationUnderneath -> IsOneByteRepresentationUnderneath
AllocateRawAsciiString -> AllocateRawOneByteString
AllocateStringFromAscii -> AllocateStringFromOneByte

7e6dd6db1e Drastically reduce the number of created strings in d8, 2nd attempt. 
This also reduces the number of TLS accesses, so it is a double-win. We have
230k less TLS accesses while running Octane now, so we are down to 23% now
compared to the start of these TLS-related CLs.

To get things right in the presence of multiple Isolates, we have to thread the
correct Isolate through several layers. This threading wasn't that bad after
all, it keeps one honest about the real depdencies. The only ugly thing is that
in ExternalArrayWeakCallback we have to conjure up the current Isolate from the
TLS, but this is a know API deficiency.

Introduced a tiny helper function for throwing on the way.
