This is for mobile platforms where application footprint size is
important. To avoid including compression libraries into V8, we assume
that the host machine have them (true for Linux), and rely on embedder
to provide decompressed data.
Currently, only snapshot data can be comressed. It is also possible to
compress libraries sources, but it is more involved and will be
addressed in another CL.

objects in the startup heap from a partial snapshot. This happens
through the partial snapshot cache. A startup snapshot and a
partial snapshot are created together so that the startup snapshot
contains the partial snapshot cache entries needed.

As this is only needed for internal profiling (not for DevTools),
the following approach had been chosen:
- during snapshot creation, positions of serialized objects inside
a snapshot are logged;
- then during V8 initialization, positions of deserealized objects
are logged;
- those positions are used for retrieving code objects names from
snapshot creation log, which needs to be supplied to tick processor
script.
Positions logging is controlled with the new flag: --log_snapshot_positions.
This flag is turned off by default, and this adds no startup penalty.
To plug this fix to Golem, the following actions are needed:
- logs created using 'mksnapshot' need to be stored along with VM images;
- tick processor script needs to be run with '--snapshot-log=...' cmdline
argument.

* Make snapshot more compact by coding the tag and the space
in one byte. Contract some common sequences to one byte.
* Use back references only within one page. Index from the
start of the space otherwise.
* Serialize Smis as raw data rather than int-encoding them.
This takes a little more space but is faster.

* Make old_data_space non-executable on OSs and hardware that support it.
* Rename old_space to old_pointer_space (can contain pointers, esp. to new space).
* Ensure that individual pages allocated for old_space are only executable when
they are for code objects.
* Ensure Space::Setup can cope with non-aligned memory.
* Make some methods on Spaces virtual. Make a way to iterate over all spaces.
* Replace executability flag with Executability enum in order to make intent at
call site clearer.
* Fix serialization/deserialization to allocate write barrier memory for large
arrays.

In the shell sample don't print the result of executing a script, only
evaluating expressions.
Fixed issue when building samples on Windows using a shared V8
library. Added visibility option on Linux build which makes the
generated library 18% smaller.
Changed build system to accept multiple build modes in one build and
generate seperate objects, libraries and executables for each mode.
Removed deferred negation optimization (a * -b => -(a * b)) since this
visibly changes operand conversion order.
Improved parsing performance by introducing stack guard in preparsing.
Without a stack guard preparsing always bails out with stack overflow.

Added a few samples and support for building them. The samples include a simple shell that can be used to benchmark and test V8.
Changed V8::GetVersion to return the version as a string.
Added source for lazily loaded scripts to snapshots and made serialization non-destructive.
Improved ARM support by fixing the write barrier code to use aligned loads and stores and by removing premature locals optimization that relied on broken support for callee-saved registers (removed).
Refactored the code for marking live objects during garbage collection and the code for allocating objects in paged spaces. Introduced an abstraction for the map word of a heap-allocated object and changed the memory allocator to allocate executable memory only for spaces that may contain code objects.
Moved StringBuilder to utils.h and ScopedLock to platform.h, where they can be used by debugging and logging modules. Added thread-safe message queues for dealing with debugger events.
Fixed the source code reported by toString for certain builtin empty functions and made sure that the prototype property of a function is enumerable.
Improved performance of converting values to condition flags in generated code.
Merged disassembler-{arch} files.

Allowed aliased eval invocations by treating them as evals in the global context. This may change in the future.
Added support for accessing the last entered context through the API and renamed Context::Current to Context::GetCurrent and Context::GetSecurityContext to Context::GetCurrentSecurityContext.
Fixed bug in the debugger that would cause the debugger scripts to be recursively loaded and changed all disabling of interrupts to be block-structured.
Made snapshot data read-only to allow it to be more easily shared across multiple users of V8 when linked as a shared library.
