This CL adds multiple things:
Transition arrays do not directly point at their descriptor array anymore, but rather do so via an indirect pointer (a JSGlobalPropertyCell).
An ownership bit is added to maps indicating whether it owns its own descriptor array or not.
Maps owning a descriptor array can pass on ownership if a transition from that map is generated; but only if the descriptor array stays exactly the same; or if a descriptor is added.
Maps that don't have ownership get ownership back if their direct child to which ownership was passed is cleared in ClearNonLiveTransitions.
To detect which descriptors in an array are valid, each map knows its own NumberOfOwnDescriptors. Since the descriptors are sorted in order of addition, if we search and find a descriptor with index bigger than this number, it is not valid for the given map.
We currently still build up an enumeration cache (although this may disappear). The enumeration cache is always built for the entire descriptor array, even if not all descriptors are owned by the map. Once a descriptor array has an enumeration cache for a given map; this invariant will always be true, even if the descriptor array was extended. The extended array will inherit the enumeration cache from the smaller descriptor array. If a map with more descriptors needs an enumeration cache, it's EnumLength will still be set to invalid, so it will have to recompute the enumeration cache. This new cache will also be valid for smaller maps since they have their own enumlength; and use this to loop over the cache. If the EnumLength is still invalid, but there is already a cache present that is big enough; we just initialize the EnumLength field for the map.
When we apply ClearNonLiveTransitions and descriptor ownership is passed back to a parent map, the descriptor array is trimmed in-place and resorted. At the same time, the enumeration cache is trimmed in-place.
Only transition arrays contain descriptor arrays. If we transition to a map and pass ownership of the descriptor array along, the child map will not store the descriptor array it owns. Rather its parent will keep the pointer. So for every leaf-map, we find the descriptor array by following the back pointer, reading out the transition array, and fetching the descriptor array from the JSGlobalPropertyCell. If a map has a transition array, we fetch it from there. If a map has undefined as its back-pointer and has no transition array; it is considered to have an empty descriptor array.
When we modify properties, we cannot share the descriptor array. To accommodate this, the child map will get its own transition array; even if there are not necessarily any transitions leaving from the child map. This is necessary since it's the only way to store its own descriptor array.

- The global object has a reference to the current global scope chain.
Running a script adds to the chain if it contains global lexical declarations.
- Scripts are executed relative to a global, not a native context.
- Harmony let and const bindings are allocated to the innermost global context;
var and function still live on the global object.
(Lexical bindings are not reflected on the global object at all,
but that will probably change later using accessors, as for modules.)
- Compilation of scripts now needs a (global) context (previously only eval did).
- The global scope chain represents one logical scope, so collision tests take
the chain into account.

The order by name is maintained as secondary order by using unused bits in the property details.
This is preliminary work towards sharing descriptors arrays.
The change allows us
- to get rid of the LastAdded bits in the map, binding it to the number of valid descriptors for the given map
- to avoid resorting by enumeration index to create the cache
- (maybe in the future, depending on performance) to get rid of the enumeration cache altogether.
Although generally the number_of_descriptors equals the NumberOfOwnDescriptors in the current version, this is preliminary work towards sharing descriptors, where maps may have more descriptors than are valid for the map.

Now a map points to a transition array which contains the descriptor array. The descriptor array is now immutable. The next step is to share the descriptor array with all back-pointed maps as long as there is a single line of extension. Maps that require a descriptor array but don't need transitions will still need a pseudo-empty transition array to contain the descriptor array.

Using insertion-sort won't have too much of an overhead for the short arrays for bootstrapping (which are probably snapshot anyway).
CopyAppendCallbackDescriptors was extending and sorting the array in a loop. By using an append that inserts at the right position we do not need to resort in each iteration.
Additionally remove Sort and rename SortUnchecked to Sort. The IsSortedNoDuplicates check is moved into InitializeDescriptor.

AccessorPair related transitions are now also stored as single map links, simplifying the code that handles transitions. AccessorPairs can now be shared between descriptor arrays, since they can only be mutated after another transition anyway; during which the pair is copied before writing.

The LastAdded points to the descriptor that was last added to the array. From the descriptor we can deduce the NextEnumerationIndex. This allows us to quickly find the property that we are transitioning to, which is necessary for transition-intensive code, eg JSON parsing.

Specifically:
- In parser, check that all exports are defined.
- Move JSModule allocation from parser to scope resolution.
- Move JSModule linking from full codegen to scope resolution.
- Implement module accessors for exported value members.
- Allocate module contexts statically along with JSModules
(to allow static linking), but chain them when module literal is evaluated.
- Make module contexts' extension slot refer to resp. JSModule
(makes modules' ScopeInfo accessible from context).
- Some other tweaks to context handling in general.
- Make any code containing module literals (and thus embedding
static references to JSModules) non-cacheable.
This enables accessing module instance objects as expected.
Import declarations are a separate feature and do not work yet.

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.

Instead of overwriting non-live transitions with NULL_DESCRIPTORs, we remove them from the array by compacting the array (shifting live values to the left) and in-place trimming the array. If the final descriptor array contains no live values (only contained transitions which are now all cleared), we move bit_field3 back from the descriptor array to the map. The descriptor array itself will be collected in the next GC.

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.
