Since symbols and strings share a common representation, most of this change is about consistently replacing 'String' with 'Name' in all places where property names are expected. In particular, no new logic at all is necessary for maps, property dictionaries, or transitions. :) The only places where an actual case distinction is needed have to do with generated type checks, and with conversions of names to strings (especially in logger and profiler).
Left in some TODOs wrt to the API: interceptors and native getters don't accept symbols as property names yet, because that would require extending the external v8.h.

- Add --harmony-symbols flag.
- Add Symbol constructor; allow symbols as (unreplaced) return value from constructors.
- Introduce %CreateSymbol and %_IsSymbol natives and respective instructions.
- Extend 'typeof' code generation to handle symbols.
- Extend CompareIC with a UNIQUE_NAMES state that (uniformly) handles internalized strings and symbols.
- Property lookup delegates to SymbolDelegate object for symbols, which only carries the toString method.
- Extend Object.prototype.toString to recognise symbols.
Per the current draft spec, symbols are actually pseudo objects that are frozen with a null prototype and only one property (toString). For simplicity, we do not treat them as proper objects for now, although typeof will return "object". Only property access works as if they were (frozen) objects (via the internal delegate object).

This speeds up isFrozen/isSealed checks on "normal" objects without
slowing down checks on frozen/sealed objects.
Though this ordering is not what ES5 specifies, the difference is not
observable (especially since the code bails out if the passed-in object
is a proxy).

When there are interceptors on an object, it's possible to
end up with duplicate property names. But when all the names
are provided by v8, a collision is not possible, so we can
fast-path that case by not de-duping.
Also added better test coverage for interceptor API.

In more detail:
- Set observation bit for observed objects (and make NormalizedMapCache respect it).
- Mutation of observed objects is always delegated from ICs to runtime.
- Introduce JS runtime function for notifying generated changes.
- Invoke this function in the appropriate places (including some local refactoring).
- Inclusion of oldValue field is not yet implemented, nor element properties.
Also, shortened flag to --harmony-observation.

Previously, there were 1 or 2 calls to the runtime when accessors were changed
or set. This doesn't really work well with property attributes, leading to some
hacks and complicates things even further when trying to share maps in presence
of accessors. Therefore, the runtime entry now takes the full triple (getter,
setter, attributes), where the getter and/or the setter can be null in case they
shouldn't be changed.
For now, we do basically the same on the native side as we did before on the
JavaScript side, but this will change in future CLs, the current CL is already
large enough.
Note that object literals with a getter and a setter for the same property still
do 2 calls, but this is a little bit more tricky to fix and will be handled in a
separate CL.

* 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.

Previously we omitted all cases where the global eval property was shadowed,
even if by a variable holding the same value. ES5 requires us to treat these
as direct calls.
We still throw if calling indirect eval with a detached global object.

When the descriptor argument is undefined, the spec is very explicit about the
fact that we should return false (not true, like we did previously). I couldn't
come up with a test case for this, but the old code leaves a bad feeling about
corner cases, so better play safe.

The prototype of builtin functions is already unwritable, so we don't
have to make it so (the default map for functions changes after builtins
are initialized).
We no longer need to make the prototype non-extensible, since all properties
that are ever read by the bultins code has been added and frozen already.
Adding properties to the prototype, or changing its __proto__, cannot affect
code.
Removing these two pieces of initialization code reduces the snapshot size
by a few Kb.

When recompiling code (e.g., when optimizing) we could incorrectly hoist
some function expressions. This leads to incorrect results or a crash. The
root cause was that functions were not correctly categorized as expression
or declaration at parse time.
This requires some extra hoops to prevent the print name "anonymous" for
functions created by 'new Function' from establishing a binding.

for the individually bound functions.
Our existing code will generate a new function on every call to bind,
but it will use the same shared function. When setting the lenght this
will be set on the shared function, i.e., the length of all bound
functions will be that of the last bound function.

The only difference to revision 7763 is the implementation in the
builtins file for arm and x64, plus a move of Array.prototype.toString
and Array.prototype.toLocaleString from should throw on null or
undefined to the non generic test cases in the function-call test (due
to us not currently supporting generic cases with these to functions)

This makes us compatible with firefox. Earlier on we were somehow
compatible with safari - which will allow defining a getter even when
an existing getter is present and non-configurable. We would, however,
in addition to overwriting the getter also change configurable to
true. The approach used by firefox seems much more sound, i.e., why
should it be possible to use __defineGetter__ or __defineSetter__ to
overwrite a non-configurable getter or setter respectively.
I will file a bug on the webkit bugtracker.

In built-in code we use arrays for internal computations.
This makes it possible to affect the built-in code by putting getters
or setters on the Array prototype chain.
This adds a new internal Array constructor that creates Arrays with
a very simplistic prototype chain that doesn't include any publicly
visible objects. These Arrays shoudl ofcourse never leak outside the
builtins, since that would expose the prototype object.
The prototype object contains only the array functions that we use:
push, pop and join (and not even a toString, so it doesn't stringify
well).
Also change uses of .call to %_CallFunction.

The current version uses SetObjectProperty which will not set the
value in case this is a readonly property. The spec explictly says
that a configurable but non writable property can have its value
changed with Object.defineProperty (because the same thing can be
accomplished by doing 3 calls (set writable to true, update the value,
set writable to false).
