If we can read an object's Map pointer but not any data from the Map
itself, we may still be able to accurately describe the object's type if
the Map pointer matches one of the known Maps from the snapshot.
GetObjectProperties uses that data in one of two ways:
- If it is sure that the Map pointer matches a known Map, then it uses
the type from that Map and continues as if it read the type normally.
- If the Map pointer is at the right offset within a heap page to match
a known Map, but the caller didn't provide the addresses of the first
pages in Map space or read-only space, then the type of that Map is
just a guess and gets returned in a separate array. This gives the
caller the opportunity to present guessed types to the user, and
perhaps call again using the guessed type as the type hint.

v8_debug_helper attempts to flag known object pointers when it can
recognize them, even if the memory pointed to is not available in the
crash dump. In ptr-compr builds, the first pages of the map space,
read-only space, and old space are always at the same offsets within the
heap reservation region, so we can more easily detect known objects.

This change provides a quick way to see string contents in postmortem
debugging sessions, without digging through a (possibly very large, in
the case of ConsString) tree of properties. As well as being convenient
for inspecting String objects, this functionality will also be necessary
for displaying property names on JSReceiver objects. In order to support
custom behaviors for specific classes, this change extends the existing
generated debug reader classes with a visitor pattern.

This change adds the indexed field for the characters in the definition
of sequential string types, and introduces support for recognizing the
various specific string types in v8_debug_helper. In an attempt to
avoid duplicating info about string instance types, it also refactors
String::Get so that StringShape (a simple class usable by postmortem
tools) can dispatch using a class that defines behaviors for each
concrete type.

This is a reland of 517ab73fd7
Updates since original: now compressed pointers passed to the function
GetObjectProperties are required to be sign-extended. Previously, the
function allowed zero-extended values, but that led to ambiguity on
pointers like 0x88044919: is it compressed or is the heap range actually
centered on 0x100000000?

This change begins to implement the functionality described in
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1evHnb1uLlSbvHAAsmOXyc25x3uh1DjgNa8u1RHvwVhk/edit#
for investigating V8 state in crash dumps.
This change adds a new library, v8_debug_helper, for providing platform-
agnostic assistance with postmortem debugging. This library can be used
by extensions built for debuggers such as WinDbg or lldb. Its public API
is described by debug-helper.h; currently the only method it exposes is
GetObjectProperties, but we'd like to add more functionality over time.
The API surface is restricted to plain C-style structs and pointers, so
that it's easy to link from a debugger extension built with a different
toolchain.
This change also adds a new cctest file to exercise some basic
interaction with the new library.
The API function GetObjectProperties takes an object pointer (which
could be compressed, or weak, or a SMI), and returns a string
description of the object and a list of properties the object contains.
For now, the list of properties is entirely based on Torque object
definitions, but we expect to add custom properties in future updates so
that it can be easier to make sense of complex data structures such as
dictionaries.
GetObjectProperties does several things that are intended to generate
somewhat useful results even in cases where memory may be corrupt or
unavailable:
- The caller may optionally provide a type string which will be used if
the memory for the object's Map is inaccessible.
- All object pointers are compared against the list of known objects
generated by mkgrokdump. The caller may optionally provide the
pointers for the first pages of various heap spaces, to avoid spurious
matches. If those pointers are not provided, then any matches are
prefixed with "maybe" in the resulting description string, such as
"maybe UndefinedValue (0x4288000341 <Oddball>)".
