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 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.

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.

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 makes back pointers in the map transition tree explicit by having
accurate back pointers throughout the lifetime of maps instead of
establishing and destroying back pointers before and after each marking
phase. This is a prerequisite for being able to clear map transitions
during incremental marking.

Constructs the (generally cyclic) graph of module instance objects
and populates their exports. Any exports other than nested modules
are currently set to 'undefined' (but already present as properties).
Details:
- Added new type JSModule for instance objects: a JSObject carrying a context.
- Statically allocate instance objects for all module literals (in parser 8-}).
- Extend interfaces to record and unify concrete instance objects,
and to support iteration over members.
- Introduce new runtime function for pushing module contexts.
- Generate code for allocating, initializing, and setting module contexts,
and for populating instance objects from module literals.
Currently, all non-module exports are still initialized with 'undefined'.
- Module aliases are resolved statically, so no special code is required.
- Make sure that code containing module constructs is never optimized
(macrofy AST node construction flag setting while we're at it).
- Add test case checking linkage.

Marking aligned frames with a marker can produce false positives since
an optimized frame spill slot may be mistakenly seen as a marker value.
It also breaks the debugger reproducably: Tested when enabling alignment
for all functions and running the debugger unit tests.

This allows elements of the non-strict arguments object to be redefined
with custom attributes and still maintain an alias into the context.
Such a slow alias is maintained by placing a special marker into the
dictionary backing store of the arguments object.

If a GC happened during initialization (when allocating the elements array)
of the non_strict_arguments_boilerplate, heap verification would fail with the following assert:
ASSERT_EQ((map()->has_fast_elements() || map()->has_fast_smi_only_elements()),
(elements()->map() == GetHeap()->fixed_array_map() ||
elements()->map() == GetHeap()->fixed_cow_array_map()));
This was not harmful since the boilerplate was setup
correctly immediatly afterwards.
Simplified the setup code by removing a call to GetElementsTransitionMap. It always return the same map as
the input object in this case and is therefore unnecessary.
Added more assertions to verify well-formed non-strict
arguments backing store.

Advantage is that it's much easier to add new element types (like FAST_SMI_ELEMENTS), and that handling logic for each element kind is (more) consolidated.
Currently, only GetElementsWithReceiver uses the new encapsulation, but the goal is to move much more element functionality into the class incrementally.

Due to issues relating mostly to chrome extensions we have lately been
running into OOMs that are caused by our executable space running
out. This change introduces flushing of code from regexps if we have
not used the code for 5 mark sweeps.
The approach is different from the normal function code flusing. Here
we make a copy of the code inside the data array, and exchange the
original code with a smi determined by the sweep_generation (a new
heap variable increased everytime we do mark sweep/compact). If we
encounter a smi in EnsureCompiled we simply reinstate the code
object. If, in the marking phase of mark sweep, we find a regexp that
already have a smi in the code field, and this is more than 5
generations old we flush the code from the saved index.
