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).

Unified parameter order of CreateHandle with the rest of v8 on the way. A few
Isolate::Current()s had to be introduced, which is not nice, and not every place
will win a beauty contest, but we can clean this up later easily in smaller steps.

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. :-)

Added highly efficient Object::SetAlignedPointerInInternalField and
Object::GetAlignedPointerFromInternalField functions for 2-byte-aligned
pointers. Their non-aligned counterparts Object::GetPointerFromInternalField and
Object::SetPointerInInternalField are now deprecated utility functions.
External is now a true Value again, with New/Value/Cast using a JSObject with an
internal field containing a Foreign. External::Wrap, and External::Unwrap are now
deprecated utility functions.
Added Context::GetEmbedderData and Context::SetEmbedderData. Deprecated
Context::GetData and Context::SetData, these are now only wrappers to access
internal field 0.
Added highly efficient Context::SetAlignedPointerInEmbedderData and
Context::GetAlignedPointerFromEmbedderData functions for 2-byte-aligned
pointers.

In this design maps contain descriptor arrays, which in turn can contain transition arrays. If transitions are needed when no descriptor array is present, a descriptor array without real descriptors is inserted just so it can point at the transition array.
The transition array does not contain details about the field it transitions to. In order to weed out transitions to FIELDs from CONSTANT_FUNCTION (what used to be MAP_TRANSITION vs CONSTANT_TRANSITION), the transition needs to be followed and the details need to be looked up in the target map. CALLBACKS transitions are still easy to recognize since the transition targets are stored as an AccessorPair containing the maps, rather than the maps directly.
Currently AccessorPairs containing a transition and an accessor are shared between the descriptor array and the transition array. This simplifies lookup since we only have to look in one of both arrays. This will change in subsequent revisions, when descriptor arrays will become shared between multiple maps, since transitions cannot be shared.

This changes the compiler to be more aggressive about lazy compilation
of closures with non-trivial outer context. Compilation can only be
triggered with a valid outer context now. One exception is the debugger,
which can request compilation of arbitrary shared code, but it ensures
to trigger compilation only at points where no context is needed.
This relands r11782, r11783, r11790 and a minor fix.

* Turned all uses of 'const' into 'var'.
* Turned all uses of local 'function' into 'var'.
* Added a couple of missing toplevel 'var' declarations.
One consequence is that the properties on the builtin object are no longer
non-writable, and I had to adapt one test. Is that a problem?
Unfortunately, we cannot actually switch the library scripts to strict mode
by default, because that makes observable things like poisoned .caller properties
for library functions.
Also removed dead flag code in Compiler::Compile.

The debugger can be entered from the deferred stack check in optimized code. This can cause both lazy deoptimization and debugger deoptimization (setting the first break point and inspecting the stack for optimized code respectively). This required deoptimization support from the deferred stack check.
The lazy deoptimiztion call is inserted when the deferred code is done including restoring the registers. The bailout to the full code is the begining of the loop body as that is where the stack check is sitting in the optimized code. The bailout is not to the stack check in the full code as that is sitting at the end of the loop.

Thread class was receiving an isolate parameter by default.
This approact violates the assumption that only VM threads
can have an associated isolate, and can lead to troubles,
because accessing the same isolate from different threads
leads to race conditions.
This was found by investigating mysterious failures of the
CPU profiler layout test on Linux Chromium. As almost all
threads were associated with some isolate, the sampler was
trying to sample them.
As a side effect, we have also fixed the DebuggerAgent test.
Thanks to Vitaly for help in fixing isolates handling!
